Glenshee Ski Centre Scotland
Glen Shee (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Sith) is a glen in eastern Perthshire, Scotland. Shee Water flows through the glen. The head of the glen, where Gleann Taitneach and Glen Lochsie meet, is approximately 2 km north-west of the Spittal of Glenshee; it then runs south-east to Bridge of Cally where it merges with Strathardle to form Glen Ericht. Once known as the glen of the fairies it takes its name from the Gaelic sith meaning fairy and the old meeting place at the standing stone behind the present day church is called Dun Shith or Hill of the Fairies.
Running through the glen is the A93 is a major road in Scotland and the highest public road in the United Kingdom, reaching a height of 670m / 2198 ft ASL. It runs north from Perth through Blairgowrie and Rattray, then through the Grampian Mountains by way of Glenshee, the Cairnwell Pass and Glen Clunie to Braemar in Aberdeenshire. At Braemar, the road then switches east down the strath of the River Dee before crossing the A90 and terminating in Aberdeen. Glenshee Ski Centre is the largest ski resort in Scotland and is sometimes referred to as the Scottish three glens. It is located in Aberdeenshire and to the north of Spittal of Glenshee, on the A93 road between Blairgowrie and Braemar in the southern Highlands of Scotland. With 22 lifts, 36 runs and limited snowmaking capabilities it is the UK's largest snowsports resort.
The ski area is just north of the Cairnwell Pass at the head of Glen Shee on either side of the A93 road. The western sector is a bowl encompassing The Cairnwell (933 m) and Càrn Aosda (917 m) mountains. The eastern side extends via Sunnyside onto two further mountains, Meall Odhar (922 m) and Glas Maol (1068 m). Most of the area is served by a panoramic webcam. The main ski centre buildings are at an elevation of 650 metres.
The resort covers 790 hectares and has 40 km of pisted runs graded as 8 Greens, 13 Blues, 13 Reds and 2 Blacks. There are three chairlifts, three T-bar lifts, and the remaining sixteen are button lifts, mostly of the Poma type. Planning permission was granted in June 2010 for a chairlift from the ski centre carpark area to the Cairnwell Cafe,[6] this lift was commissioned in January 2012 and named the Baddoch chair, and the resort is also in the process of replacing the Cairnwell Chairlift with a modern 3 seat Poma Chair

The first snowfall of the 2019 winter season over the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, especially around Glenshee Ski centre and Braemar. Enough snow for some snowball fights if not skiing at the moment, but it is starting to cover the Cairngorms now.

Winter Skills Weekend Scotland 2020
This weekend was all about learning how to look after yourself in the winter mountains. Frantisek did exceptionally well, taking on board the skills necessary to keep you as safe as possible. We covered lots, including using the weather forecasts to help with avalanche avoidance and the snow we had was just fantastic, perfect for crampons.
This course is intended for those that want to venture into the hills year round. It is a great build up for Summer Hill Walkers, or the course can even be an excuse to try it out to see if you like it.
Whatever your desire, get in touch, and maybe some day, you will feature in a video too :)
