In reply to Milesy:
> According to Cairngorm ski centre it is blizzard conditions and the Glenmore snow gates have been shut. Ski Centre is shut
Last time I went to Scotland boredom drove us to take the Ben Nevis distillery tour as there was no snow and a howling gale driving wind horizontally for a week.
The guy who was taking the tour sympathised with us and claimed that they consistently lied about the skiing conditions. Said all the photos of people skiing had been taken in Italy.
The thought of some huge conspiracy amused me.
