Powder Snow

You are assuming that I want to spend 9 hours(+ if traffic) driving home on a Sunday evening after 2 days on the slopes?

I'd be another "asleep at the wheel" statistic.

Not much traffic at 3am But yes, that is the downside. Easily do-able with 2 or more drivers though.

Alternatively the sleeper train goes from Euston to Aviemore, leave at 11pm to get in nice and refreshed at 7am. £120 return, although you lose the economies of scale with more than more person.

Think outside the box people! This isn't just theoretical, I do this regularly and it is a genuinely realistic proposition for a cheap weekend's skiing.

Scotland does have airports you know

Which makes it as expensive as the Alps...

9 hours from London is 18 hours out of a 60 hour weekend. This is not what I call easily done.

If I was desperate to go, it would be cheaper to fly to the alps for the weekend.

Everybody says that but it just ain't true. You show me the Alpine weekend that gives you 2 full days on the slopes with no time off work and £150 in travel costs - less if you have friends

Fabulous skiing conditions in Switzerland at the weekend, after heavy snow on Saturday morning

I know. I skied yesterday (brilliant sunshine but very high winds). I'm skiing tomorrow.

And a lot quicker.

And the problem with that is...?

9 hours drive from London, easily done in a weekend if you're so inclined. Best Scottish season for 30 years they reckon. I've had 6 days fabulous skiing so far this year and a couple more weekends planned, the snow should last until the end of April at least.
