Skiing in Scotland is fun for all abilities – both centres have ski schools to get you started and also provide excellent off piste to test your skills. The Scottish ski centres usually open between Christmas and April depending on snow conditions. But there's more to snowsports - how about ice-climbing, snow-shoeing or ski mountaineering?
