On Thursday we (David, Ali, Freda) went skiing on Cairngorm, about an hour's drive from Craiglea. Snow conditions in Scotland are the best for decades so we were keen to get out on the slopes and introduce Freda to the sport. Lift passes (for us all) and equipment hire for Freda however are not cheap so we plumped for a half-day. The snow was indeed very plentiful and we hardly saw a rock all day (very unusual for Scottish skiing!). Freda of course took to it immediately, and announced that skiing was now her new favourite activity (after horse riding). We'll have to encourage the girls to take up some less financially demanding sports next!
Freda's 'complete beginner' stage lasted about 30 seconds
Later the cloud lifted
