Ski Resorts in Scotland
CairnGorm Mountain is one of the ski resorts in Scotland reporting a great season, with more than 120,000 skiers and snowboarders hitting its slopes this winter. It has been more than 15 years since it has had two successive seasons with this high number of visitors.
The resort, located near Aviemore, said that the early start to the season and late close had much to do with the good numbers. The resort saw twice as many skiers in November and December as the previous year. The early heavy snowfall in many parts of the country helped to draw public attention throughout the UK to the quality of skiing that can be enjoyed at Scotland's five ski resorts, which include Glencoe, Glenshee, Nevis Range and The Lecht. The early snowfall led Glencoe resort to open before Christmas for the first time in 10 years.
