He wondered if the conditions in France would be as good for his snow boarding holiday there this week. john – Exactly what our son said on his day snowboarding in Aviemore last week. beautiful sunny day, perfect snow.

They can get good snow in November or May! Often visitors go there in February expecting good snow and are disappointed although there was snow on my visit. We had a 2 great days snowboarding. On a good day Scotland can hold its own with most winter sports resort in the world. The snow in Scotland is totally unpredictable. They can get good snow in November or May!

Even then you can get caught out as our son's uni club were caught out by a sudden overnight thaw, after leaving Edinburgh before dawn one Sunday morning last year.

The last 2 seasons, snow cover has luckily improved. I went up several times, one time early in the season 3 foot of snow had fallen over 2 days. Yes, its unreliable and dont book a holiday, but rush up when it does snow, it can be great. Skiing in Scotland is not crap, just unreliable. The last 2 seasons, snow cover has luckily improved.

No disrespect to scotland ... As a londoner I would still kill to have mountains like that near where I live ... But fact of the matter is that its easier to get to the alps from down here ... I almost reckon you'd be better off scrapping the chairlifts so you could go trecking accross the area with nothing man made in site ... Oh by the way I used to ride with a couple of scots in france ... they both slated glenshee too ...
