Seems reasonable. Wish they shouldn't call them resorts, though. Centres sounds better and more realistic!

Also I think quoting Aladdin's Couloir as a best run is a bit of a stretch

Have to laugh at the final sentences in the accompanying piece:

"...something very sweet about skiing in your own country. And with the devolution vote later this year, this winter could be your last chance." !!

Tongue firmly in cheek - I hope! If it encourages a few to take a look, then great, I just hope there are no gullible souls out there who believe it is their last chance.

Yes pity we already have a devolved parliament and the vote is for independence. So what she said made absolutely no sense.


Trying to be smart and getting it totally wrong just makes you look ignorant and stupid.

Not a great article for the reasons mentioned above and also the continual use of "mountain" which sounds all very wannabe American in stead of just sticking with the proper names.

It will be good though for business I hope though.

"A squarer sausage, for a fairer Scotland" , I believe the slogan was. BBC Scotland, Hogmanay.

Lets hear it for the Glenshee Breakfast Roll, which is a Saturated Fat Triathlon probably not sponsored by the British Heart Foundation, with a combo of 3 fillings. My own favourite being the bacon + blackpud + sausage (square).

I'm sure it won't kill you if taken in moderation.
