Looking like strong winds will limit the operation of the upper lifts tomorrow. As the temperatures drop tonight expect the soft snow pack to firm up again, with fresh snow continuing overnight and throughout tomorrow. Friday and the Saturday looking good with bright sunny weather.
We kindly ask that no one parks 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.
Snow Level: 400m
News from the Slopes
Advance Lift Pass bookings for Snowsports are now available through our webshop for the next few weeks – this is the only way to guarantee a lift pass. We may have walk-in capacity on the day, but these are not guaranteed and issued on a first-come, first-serve basis dependent on what terrain we have available. Whilst we anticipate being busy with snowsports, foot passengers are still welcome to come and enjoy the Mountain Railway. Tickets for the Mountain Railway will only be available from the Ticket Office, not online.
We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. On weekends and certain midweek days, there will be shuttle busses running from the Ciste car park from 9am. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service.
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.
