Lots more new snow so digging the ski centre out!

Cairngorm has received a lot of new snow this week, and this has arrived in a storm with lots of high winds. This has meant that they have spent all week digging out the road from Glenmore to the Day Lodge. They have brought in large diggers to help the snowploughs and piste machines do this, however the road continues to fill in as fast as they clear it, while the wind is high. Hopefully the wind will die down soon and then any damage from the storm can be assessed as well as the start to digging out tows and buildings. The picture below shows the major drifting that has taken place over the last few days, including the number of snow drifts covering the train track. It is clear there will be a lot of work to do once the road is clear and customers need to be aware that this is going on and everyone is working hard to get the ski area open.

As we can't access the ski area we have had to cancel all our lessons this week. We hope to get back to business as normal next week, although with a lot more snow!
