When you think of ski resorts, you think of Switzerland, Italy, Colorado and maybe even Michigan, but nobody thinks "hey, the UK has some quality places to go".
While that's probably down to poor advertising more than anything else, it's well worth checking out.
Scotland offers a unique and extreme skiing experience to skiers from around the world.
There are many unique resorts in Scotland that have nice terrains which are especially developed or designed for these exact purposes and can also be used for other types of winter sports.
Ski resorts in Scotland are usually found at villages at the foot of mountains.
Generally they offer many kinds of services and also have many advantages and benefits.
Scotland is also much known for its wonderful tourist spots so you'll never be lacking in something to do.
Snowboarding is often available at the same resorts, along with other snow or ice type activities.
Another benefit is the all year round nature of these holiday destinations.
The clubs in Scotland want to give their skiers and members an extreme and fun skiing experience that other resorts around the world can't match.
Most of the centres are based in the north of the country, such as Cairngorm and The Lecht, but some are as far south as Snozone, near Glasgow.
Most places will have a scheme where the skiers can join and become a member.
These ski clubs have many advantages and benefits given to joiners.
One of the benefits of becoming a member of a club is that you can take advantage of reduced rates.
These clubs often also take care of the your equipment and maintain it regularly in order to make sure that you are safe and comfortable while skiing.
There are also special lounges where members can relax and enjoy a little of the local hospitality.
These lounges are free for members but non-members often have to pay a fee to use the facilities if indeed they are allowed to at all.
The clubs often will have rooms for hire, similar to hotels but custom made for winter sports enthusiasts.
There are also skiing packages that are being offered to skiers around the world.
These packages have special and limited offers that only have limited time of availability.
The participating resorts will provide the skiers with a fun and unique skiing experience at a very cheap and affordable price.
These packages also contain accommodation services that skiers can choose.
Fear not though if your budget is not an issue, there are plenty of luxury packages offered too.
Scotland offers a varied and wonderful array of winter sports and holiday destinations for all types of people.
It truly is a forgotten gem.
