Braemar - Glenshee and Cockbridge - Tomintoul both closed this morning due to snow.

Heading north this morning into the strong northerly wind.

Funny summer.

That's crazy, been skiing a couple of times to Glenshee. Back then we were worrying if there was going to be 'enough' snow, and that was February, March!

Yes good skiing at both centres when the weather is fine but all too often like today it is too windy and the drifting snow prevents the roads opening or the drag lifts running.
Won't open today and anyway there would be staffing difficulties I think due to other seasonal work in the area by now. Pity

Global is beyond doubt I'm afraid but local conditions vary according to what I have seen/read. Not so long since they said Scotland would be the new Costa del Sol. Still waiting!

PS I looked at a Pegasus last week. Nice van. Do you like it?

Had it 3 years now, very pleased with it. Couple of minor faults put right by dealer.
