      9 hours drive from London, easily done in a weekend if you're so inclined. Best Scottish season for 30 years they reckon. I've had 6 days fabulous skiing so far this year and a couple more weekends planned, the snow should last until the end of April at least.

        9 hours from London is 18 hours out of a 60 hour weekend. This is not what I call easily done.

        If I was desperate to go, it would be cheaper to fly to the alps for the weekend.

          And a lot quicker.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I know. I skied yesterday (brilliant sunshine but very high winds). I'm skiing tomorrow.

              Everybody says that but it just ain't true. You show me the Alpine weekend that gives you 2 full days on the slopes with no time off work and £150 in travel costs - less if you have friends

                You are assuming that I want to spend 9 hours(+ if traffic) driving home on a Sunday evening after 2 days on the slopes?

                I'd be another "asleep at the wheel" statistic.

                    Which makes it as expensive as the Alps...
