European Cold Winter Forecast is Good News for Scottish Ski Industry
Despite much of Europe recording one of the warmest autumns on
record, the highly respected UK Meteorological Office has
released predictions that the winter of 2005/2006 will see
Europe freeze. Below-average temperatures are forecast to be
widespread across many parts of Europe, including parts of the
UK. Should the Met Office be right then Scotland's ski resorts
could be jumping for joy!
Scotland's Five Ski Resorts
Skiing in Scotland has been a bit of a 'hit & miss' affair in
recent years. Since the early 1990s the number of snow-days for
skiers at the five ski resorts of Cairngorm, Glenshee, The
Lecht, Glencoe and Aonach Mor has fallen into sharp decline. Out
of a possible 18 weeks of good snow cover, 4 to 6 have been the
norm over the last 15 years or so.
As a result of poor snow coverage, visitor numbers to the
Scottish ski resorts have more than halved during this time.
Forecast visitors for this year at the premier Cairngorm resort
above Aviemore is 48,000 - a figure that is well below
the
150,000 winter sports enthusiasts who used to visit the resort a
few years ago.
Yet, despite the media's negative take on the decline of the
Scottish ski industry - some sources have quoted that the
Scottish ski industry will be dead & buried in the next 20 years
- the winter of 2005/2006 looks set to buck the trend.
Current long range weather forecasts are suggesting that the
Scottish ski resorts could see above average snow falls this
year. Moreover, once the snow has fallen it is predicted that
coverage will last for much longer on the ground too! They're
all good signs that point to winter sports undergoing a
mini-revival in Scotland this year.
