For beginners and intermediates, no other ski centre in Scotland can offer such a diverse range of skiing with plenty runs to explore ("Coire Fionn" having the pick of the bunch in my opinion). For experts there are 2 of the best black runs here, "Glas Maol" - 2km long, and "The Tiger" - possibly the hardest run in Britain.

Bad Points

• A popular resort that can be very busy, especially on a good weekend
• Access to the Cairnwell side is via a single seat chairlift or a very slow poma, which causes queues as people arrive
• Long queues for lift passes at the weekend (bring cash for "cash only" ticket desks, they are much quicker)
