Have been at Glenshee several times this year and the conditions have been fantastic. The wind can be very strong as is true of any Scottish resort but when it dies down and the skies are blue Glenshee (Glen of the Fairies) really can be a special place. The staff are very friendly, the scenery is lovely and the snow can be as good as anywhere on a good day.

I spend most of my time exploring the many excellent off-piste areas but when I do go on piste the addition of two new piste bashers has made an incredible difference to the conditions.

The runs are very short in comparison to Europe and some US resorts and the constant use of Pomas and T-bars can be tiring but the surface lifts are necessary due to the often windy conditions.

This season even the weekends have been quiet and the lift queues have been almost non existant and I have been lucky enough to not have to stand in line once this season.

All in all, a great place to ski if the weather plays ball but quite often the conditions are better than forecast and much beeter than they appear on their webcam.
