New snowfall and cold temperatures is allowing Cairngorm ski resort in Scotland to kick-off their 2012 – 2013 ski season this Saturday, Dec 1. For more information on skiing in Scotland read Couloir Skiing in Scotland? An Unofficial Look at Skiing the Highlands of Scotland

Weather permitting we will open for snowsports on Saturday. At the moment the Ciste tow will open with skiing on the Fairway. For better skiers and boarders there should be a run availabe back to the mid station via the Traverse, Cas and Zig Zags. This is the state of play at the moment and may change if we get more snow, and is subject to weather conditions at the weekend. We will have a better idea tomorrow on what is possible. Cairngorm
