It's the Scottish Children's Alpine Championships and Bairns Bucket this weekend with races taking place on the White Lady and Ptarmigan Bowl (parallel to the up track).
Access to these areas will be restricted until early afternoon on both Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March with priority queues in operation at the M1 Poma and Ptarmigan T-Bar.
As the temperature returns to freezing it will allow us to move snow around and set up for the weekend in areas that have become thin and narrow in the recent warm temperatures - we will be operating mid station stops on the Mountain Railway for snowsports customers.
Saturday is looking like great weather, with cold but sunny conditions. We are fully booked for Equipment Rental so please rent elsewhere if you have not already secured your kit.
The slopes will be much quieter with the half-term holidays wrapping up so when the weather allows, come on up and enjoy some skiing and snowboarding with fewer queues and spacious pistes. Lift passes can be booked online or purchased from the Ticket Office.
Have an excellent weekend!
Snow Level: 500m
News from the Slopes
Lift Passes are available to book both online and purchase on the day from the Ticket Office with afternoon tickets available daily from 12:30pm. Equipment Rental bookings can be made online but please note, during busy times we may not have availability for walk-ins. If you have’t secured rental with us please hire elsewhere, you can find a list of local shops here.
Please do not park in any mountain car parks overnight, especially during snow storms as this can impact our snow clearing operations. There is overnight parking available in Glenmore.
We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service. When our car parks are full can we kindly ask that people do not park on our access roads carriageways, as this severely hinders us in keeping traffic moving freely, and allows buses and emergency vehicles to pass safely.
During this busy time, we may not be able to respond to messages, comments, and email enquiries and suggest following updates on our Mountain Report.
