How much is it going to set you back for the weekend up in Aviemore?re: Scotland!
Not a lot really, avoid the main " big " hotels (Mcdonald chain), stay at the Cairngorm hotel or McKenzies Inn (both on the Main Street), Grampian Road ,and its £25 quid a night bed and good Scottish Breakfast. Then theres the "limited "area pass (cos the whole mountains not skiable as yet) at around £18. (check the website out for exact prices).
now the evening drinking thats another matter!, depending how many of my old mates are out to buy me drinks!
Its a good time, but we are not sure ...

Its a good time, but we are not sure where we will be skiing yet as the Lecht and Nevis range as well as Glenshee are all within range, depends which has the best snow on the day I suppose.
Theres allways plenty of cheaper bed and breakfasts available if you choose.

Haven't skied in Scotland before but I have dome tons of winter mountaineering and ice climbing and I can tell you that Scotland is a winter wonderland (when the conditions are good that is!).Scotland is extreme and only for the hardcore enthusiast as the weather is far more severe than in Europe. However, in my books it is VERY much worth it.
re: Scotland!
HornsterYour right!
I have skied many many years up in Scotland, the people are friendly and as you say, its not Europe as we know it, but its fun.
