Norfolk is a long way away. However there are a few ‘naysayers’ here who whilst being partly right that:
– facilities are not a patch on the Alps
– costs are not that great
– snow is unpredictable [but probably for next few weeks at least]
– queues can be long esp. at weekends (although not necessarily as bad as you might imagine, especially if you are staying local so on the slopes early).
– weather can be anything from beuatiful (but that is lucky) to very unpleasant (which might be unlucky) to so bad they close the slope (this is actually lucky as it removes the option of going – when you see what they will open in, you realise you don’t want to be there when they give up!).
There is a fairly important point (on a forum like this) they seem to have missed:
– Aviemore (and to a lesser extent the other ski centres) are also Mountain bike heaven. Its not uncommon to find it so bad on the hill that either the slope is closed or all sane people have left but down in the valley its dry, relatively sheltered and great biking weather.
If you want 4 days of reasonably certain good skiing don’t plan a scottish trip more than a week or two in advance. BUT if you’ve got 4 days that you can go for, and can take the bikes and the skis then I think you can be reasonably hopeful of some more interesting fun than staying in Norfolk, just decide each day whether it looks good for the white stuff or a bike day!
