The weather is looking good for Friday Snowsports with temperatures set to drop back.
We have great cover on the runs from Top to Middle, with the White Lady full width for the entire length. M2 and Daylodge pistes also have good cover for top to bottom skiing, the Lower slopes are now closed as it is thin and narrow at Cottam’s Way.
WITH THE DROP IN TEMPERATURES, THE SNOW ON THE WHITE LADY IS VERY HARD, SO ONLY SUITABLE FOR ADVANCED RIDERS AND IS UNGROOMED
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 Railway
Saturday is also looking like great weather, with Cold and Sunny conditions.
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.
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.
