Where is best in Scotland - Cairn Gorms? Also, which airpoart is best? Inverness is close by isnt it. I fancy a short trip up there with the girlfriend. How far is the accomodation from the lifts? I'm really keen on trying it!
We were also looking at Lapland for next year. A good place (so ive heard) is Levi, which is in Lapland/Finland area. They get loads of snow and is also freezing (-30's alot of the time). It's a quiet resort with hardly any queues and alot of the runs are dead. My boss and his family go every year. Not many daylight hours though this time of year (light between 10am - 3pm)
www.levi.fi have loads of pictures of the resort.
