Why not park at the ski centre and take advantage of the ehu?Braemar CP seems best suited for Glenshee?
In that case Braemar is definitely closest to Glenshee, just 3 or 4 miles. If you don't need EHU though, there is plenty of space in the large parking areas.Agree but as we want six nights on a set date can we risk no spaces.
We've used the pitches with EHU in Glencoe and that worked out fine. Mind you it was later in the year so not as cold as it could have been in the middle of winter. As always with Scottish skiing, you'll only know a very short time beforehand if you're going to get any skiing at all. We live close enough that we can decide the night before and drive up early the next morning! Unless you're relatively beginner skiiers, or have family who are, most of the Scottiash resorts only merit a day or two each.Has anyone camped and ski in Scotland before. What was it like and can you share where to camp.
This BBC article (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-52774346) says that Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) who own the railway have had a planning application to do the repairs, which have to be done in an "eco-sensitive" way because of the environmental significance of the mountain, approved.Has the Aviemore funicular been re-instated..
I suspect not ...........................no funds as yet and time to actually repair/replace it ?
The funicular should never have been put in in the first place. Something that needs dug out when it snows is kinda defeating the purpose. A Gondola should have been installed in the first place. Lots of mistakes have been made at Cairngorm by narrow minded ski snobs. Building a World Cup mountain bike track like Fort William could have saved the hill but the skiers couldn’t have that on their hillThanks @GrahamPye
It would seem they need to spend the £13m to demolish anyway.
so why not spend £15m and get something useful.
Having ski-ied there once the railway is needed for ski-ing
It is also an all year attraction for reasons X Y Z etc
The longernthey wait the more it will cost !
I will charge them a modest 1% for my advice
You're right - unless it's an all year round attraction then it's never going to be profitable. The situation where you could go up the railway but not leave the building in the summer was ridiculous. I'm a skiier and I wouldn't have objected to a MTB track.The funicular should never have been put in in the first place. Something that needs dug out when it snows is kinda defeating the purpose.
