So the real question is, is it realistic to go for a weekend's skiing in Scotland with the kids, starting out from Cambridgeshire?
Better flying from STansted to the Alps in that time…
Last weekend at Aviemore was genuinely awesome – cloud free, sunny blue skies, temperatures way below 0c, fresh loose powder everywhere… But there must be a week's worth of those conditions in a whole Scottish season. This weekend its fresh snow but blizzards & storms… This winter has been amazing for those lucky enough to live within, say 3 – 4 hours drive but I wouldn't drive the 9 hours or whatever from Cambridge for it. It is still only the wee slopes of Scottish skiing and if you've ski'd in the Alps at all the novelty of it will wear off in the first queue.
