Was up today for a look.
20 cars if that. Hope the snow comes soon with feb round the corner.
i cant see how a company can survive on perhaps 15 ski days in the last 24 months?
If anyone knows the answer please tell.


Crude maths here...

4 full(ish) car park days so far this season; that’s over 750 cars per day, £28 per adult ticket. Doesn’t take long to see why just a few of these busy weekends are what keep it going. That’s before you count cafe sales, ski hire and the coach loads of school kids that come up through the week!

I do agree though that there is plenty growth to be had in summer, there was a survey out last year or the year before asking people’s opinions on that but I’m not sure where their at with it. I know they offer some MTBing but there was talk of zip lines among other bits and pieces.

I personally think some cheap accommodation would work as there’s very little nearby and some lovely hills.

Thanks for the heads up, just watched on iPlayer. Great piece.

Much as I enjoyed the film a couple of years ago it's a shame that they made him out to be a crap skier!

There is still more snow required especially in Center Gully and there's no hangars on the lift

How many times a season does a Glenshee employee get asked "Is Glas Maol open", or "When is Glas Maol opening?"?

^ And it's not even all that good!

Today was pretty awesome though, good snow everywhere accessible, on or off piste (just keep an eye out for rocks here and there off piste)

Surely they can get the hangers on before the winter!
