Cairngorm Mountain's ski resort is one of three sites for skiboarding, available in Aberdeenshire.

The ski center is located in Cairngorm park, providing ski facilities with 12 lifts and  23 individual pistes. Half of the pistes are suitable for beginners and intermediates and half of them, marked as red flagged, are suitable for experienced skiboarders.

There is only one black piste, which  is the West Wall at Coire na Ciste. You can reach the site by renting a car from Aberdeen airport or by coach. Preferable period for visiting with good quality snow is anytime between October and early June.

Always check the weather before a visit, as strong winds may be the reason for shutting down the lifts. There are two schools with instructors that can help you learn how to ski and they also provide the appropriate gear for rental. There are rooms to let in the surrounding area, not far away from the ski resort with affordable prices.
