It is looking less windy tomorrow, so there might be a chance we can run the top lifts, along with the Cas T Bar , M1 Poma and the Mountain railway.
Fantastic snow cover in the Top Bowls and The White Lady is in exquisite condition

With the Easter holiday's starting we will be returning to 9am for the first Funicular uplift 7 days a week. You can also expect to see some of our other activities including the Tubing Slides and the Adventure Play Park reopening once the weather has settled.

:: CairnGorm Mountain Lift Status & News
Lift Passes are available to book both online and purchase on the day from the Ticket Office with afternoon tickets available daily from 12:30pm. Equipment Rental bookings can be made online but please note, during busy times we may not have availability for walk-ins. If you have’t secured rental with us please hire elsewhere, you can find a list of local shops here.

Please do not park in any mountain car parks overnight, especially during snow storms as this can impact our snow clearing operations. There is overnight parking available in Glenmore.

We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service. When our car parks are full can we kindly ask that people do not park on our access roads carriageways, as this severely hinders us in keeping traffic moving freely, and allows buses and emergency vehicles to pass safely.

During this busy time, we may not be able to respond to messages, comments, and email enquiries and suggest following updates on our Mountain Report.

Bluebird Saturday on the 'Gorm. The weather won't be as nice on Sunday, but surface conditions should loosen up across the mountain as the freezing level nudges up on Sunday to give great spring snow after recent freeze / thaw cycles.
