Advantages: Great fun in Scotland

Disadvantages: Can get very icy if no fresh snow

I think Glenshee probably provides the biggest ski area in Scotland, especially when there is enough snow to open the Glas Maol area. The resort itself is based on both sides of the A93, there is sunnyside to the opposite side of the road from the cafe and there's the cairnwell and Carn Aosda side. Sunnyside is definitely the easier choice for beginners or those folk who are finding their feet again, although it can become rather congested!

For the intermediate onwards, the cairnwell side offers some great fun with the tiger, bucharts and also the race tracks. Great fun if you're looking to blast straight down.

If you're looking for a bit of off piste action of just trying to get away from the crowds, head over to Meall Odhar and further on to Glas Maol. The crowds should be lesser over "the back" and on it's day it offers fantastic snow conditions with plenty of nice deep pockets of snow. There really is some cracking runs over this side, for the intermediate onwards you'll have much more fun skiing at Meall Odhar and if it's open Glas Maol.

Ticket price is in line with the other ski resorts in Scotland but Glenshee can get so busy during a holiday weekend or a weekend with decent snow. Make sure to get there early to save waiting in the lift pass queue!

Summary: Give it a bash! Support Scottish Skiing!
