Cairngorm
Mountain: Located in the Cairngorm National Park this has become a very popular ski resort. It should suit all standards from beginner to expert. Snowboarders have their own Terrain Park which is maintained by a squad of volunteers. Equipment hire and tuition available. There is a snow sports school so it is a great place to start. The recently opened funicular railway gives quick and interesting access to the top of the mountain where you will also find a restaurant and shop. The Ptarmigan Bowl (see cam) is a good place to begin while Coire Cas is a good intermediate run. For the experienced there is Coire na Ciste. There is 37km of pisted runs, the longest being 2.2km. Aviemore, the nearest town is a resort town so provides ample shops, eating houses and hotels.
