Where is the update from Cairngorm Alan?

I cannot see anything on Youtube and there is nothing on Colin's blog from today?

I think that's more or less the point that Alan was making.

maybe they will post a update tomorrow,do we all think the gorm will open soon?

Haha, I see. A little slow on the up take... thank goodness it's Friday!

Helen Thanks - so its top of the trainer tow, the snow making used to be down at the bottom. In your photo looking down, it was on the slope that rises up to the left at bottom of tow - it was a long time ago. Pass on my regards to Sandy

The FL stayed below the Summit of CairnGorm this evening, Summit temp peaked at -0.2°c at 9pm and the air temperature at the SSC Hut has fallen 1.3°c since then.

Think that's what Alan was getting at !

And the prize for the first Cairngorm related moan of the season goes to ...

Daveski and PeterS. Here's a photo of Caingorm's original snowmaking equipment that Jamie sent me it some while back. It also shows the original'trainer tow'

For those who have only known Cairngorm with the funicular, for reference,the Scottish Ski Club hut is the building top left.

^ that's a good 'un H11lly

There's a couple of photos showing the old snow guns on the Scoop Taylor Archive on Facebook too - haven't got time to search for them right now and give a link but I remember spotting them.

mmmm let me think !!!!!

Was up for a meeting this morning so decided to head up after it had finished to see what's happened to the slopes in the past two days . By the top station it was beginning to close in to I didn't venture further. Report and photos [www.winterhighland.info]

There's an amazing model appeared just inside the funicular entrance, of the car park and slopes around it. Photo doesn't do it justice.

Nice one Helen.

Your photo ... [www.winterhighland.info] ... of the traverse made me smile. It was just like that the first time I ever skied at Cairngorm which was one of my first ever joyful experiences of proper rattle-bang skiing. God knows what the beginners must have thought of it.

What is the purpose of the model? Is it a plan or purely something rubbish/aesthetic?
