The new timetable and offer covers Nevis Range, Cairngorm Mountain and Glencoe Mountain with regular departures from Inverness, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The timetable will run until 22 May 2011.
The new deal has come at just the right time for boarders and skiers who want to take advantage of one of Scotland’s coldest ever winters and plenty of snow. Chris Sankey, for Scottish Citylink, said: “Winter sports are hugely popular in Scotland but it’s baffling that so many people will travel to European resorts when we have some of the best on our doorstep.
“The new Snowlink deal will allow Citylink passengers to travel to some fantastic resorts without the worry of finding a parking space or having to fill up with petrol. The last thing anyone needs after a day on the slopes is to have to load the car and drive home.
“We’re really pleased to have been able to team up with these resorts to offer a discount on ski and board hire. For those who don’t have their own equipment, this can represent a decent saving and will be particularly useful for beginners.”
Heather Negus, Marketing Manager at Nevis Range, Fort William, added: “The snow has been falling for almost two months ago and it has been brilliant for business. We have seen more people than ever on our slopes and we want to encourage them to come back. This is one of the reasons we’re so pleased Citylink has launched this deal. Hopefully it will encourage more Scots to have a look at what we have to offer at our Scottish resorts.”
