We have now finished running lessons this season, so are looking forward to seeing all our customers and staff again next year. We have had another successful season, employing 85 instructors and teaching around 4500 customers. The season was a long one, with Cairngorm having an early start on the 13th November, and it finally closed on the 25th April.
Unfortunately the weather at times has made our job hard, and it is always hard when we have to disappoint customers by cancelling lessons. This year we had to cancel a lot during February due to high winds, however we remain philosophical about this as of course this is the nature of British weather!
Let's hope for a great summer and see you all next year!

Skiing and boarding lessons still available
The recent warm weather has meant that a lot of snow has now gone, however there is still enough to run skiing and boarding lessons each day. There are still good conditions for snowsports in the Ptarmigan bowl, which is perfect for beginners, and Coire Cas and the Gunbarrel are still complete for the more avanced. The Ptarmigan, Cas and Polar Express are all operable (although the Ptarmigan T-bar now unloads at the top of the bowl), and the train is also doing middle station stops. We can run lessons each day, but as we are quite quiet it is best to book in advance. We will stop doing group packages on Wednesday 20th April, however we can still run private lessons each day after this date. Please phone our office on 08455 191191 to enquire or book.

Still good skiing and snowboarding on Cairngorm!
We have had great weather over the past few days but have also lost a bit of snow. Only the Ptarmigan, Ciste, Polar Express and Cas are now operable and the top and the Cas are the onlt runs open. Despite this there is still plenty of snow on these runs, and there is more snow forecast so fingers crossed for Easter.

Still plenty of snow!
Despite a recent meltdown, Cairngorm still has plenty of snow for skiing and snowboarding. The lower slopes have now lost snow cover, so all riding is now down to the middle. However many runs still have plenty of snow (Cas, White Lady, Ptarmigan and Ciste bowls etc) and so there is still great skiing or boarding to be had (weather dependent). It looks like being a great easter holiday for skiing and boarding on Cairngorm. We may be quite busy so if you are looking for lessons then we would recommend booking in advance. Please phone us on 08455 191 191 to enquire or make a booking.
