Introduction

Glenshee is Scotland's biggest resort, although not much different to the Country's smallest. This place was first to use snow cannons, but in truth, they haven't really helped to improve what is frequently a disappointment. The 25 miles are spread out over varying slopes and on a good day, allow for bit of off-piste powder (there's rarely a good day though). The majority of runs are basic short novice trails with only two steep sections.A Freeriders have no trees, but a bit of powder on Glas Maol area.Y Freestylers, don't bother, go stay in bed. There is, however, talk of a park this year. : Carvers, can crank it down the Cairnwell but not for long.o Beginners will hate the way the lifts are set out, however, the novice runs will provide a good afternoons fun.. If the weather is good, it can be lots of fun.
