UK: Scotland – Glenshee 1992

Beginners / Novices Beginners and novices can gently get to grips with skiing and snowboarding on the extensive nursery slopes next to the main car park. After a few lessons, it won't be long before you can master the lifts at road level, which opens up a much larger area of runs for novices, serviced by eleven lifts. Intermediates Glenshee is ideal for intermediate skiers & boarders, with 26 blue and red runs, varying from the long and exhilarating to the short and steep. From the wide open area of the Thunderbowl and popular sheltered expanses over the back at Coire Fionn and Glas Maol to the bumps, jumps and natural half-pipe of Meall Odhar to the testing Slalom Race Track at Cairnwell - the choice is yours.... Advanced Experienced skiers can test their skills on two excellent black runs at Glenshee including the infamous, mogul strewn Tiger which has been a formidable part of the Scottish ski experience for years. When conditions allow there is some great Freeriding to be had with Carn Aosda and Meall Odhar offering some steep and varied terrain. Venue for the 1985 Smirnoff British Speed Skiing Championships, Glenshee's other black, on the left hand face of Glas Maol, is still as exhilarating today as it was then. With this much choice, it is easy to see why Glenshee is the UK' s premier ski centre.

🙂 First time I ever saw ot touched snow! 🙂

🙁 There was ALOT of snow – required snow plough to get on road!

This was a last minute decision to take a coach to Glenshee to see snow and have a ski lesson! It was a long coach trip but so much fun … and a never to be forgotten moment to see and touch snow for the first time!

This trip sparked a life long love of skiing! 🙂
