While many people will be hitting the European slopes this winter, if you want to have some fun in the snow it\u2019s also worth looking closer to home. Skiing in Scotland is offers an alpine experience that\u2019s not too far from that in Switzerland and has some fairly well-known resorts, but in the right conditions even Cumbria can provide some great runs.<\/p>\n

Here is our guide on the best locations to head for in the UK if you fancy hitting the slopes this winter.<\/p>\n

Glenshee claims to have the most extensive skiing areas in the UK, with 25 miles of downhill runs over four mountains. There are 22 lifts and 36 runs, offering an amazing diversity of natural terrain for all standards of skiers and snowboarders. The ski centre at Braemar is open for skiing and snowboarding from mid December to April, while the Base Cafe is open all year round.<\/p>\n

There are wide open pistes, sheltered expanses, jumps, a natural half-pipe and a testing slalom race track. This does make it a popular site on days with good conditions, but if you book online you can skip the queues at the ticket office. There is on-site equipment hire.\u00a0www.ski-glenshee.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
