hello. I have to teenage DDs (16 and 14) who love skiing, as does DH. I also have a 2 yr old. I am unfortunately unable to travel abroad this year as my passport expired so i am renewing but it wont happen on time for the feb half term. I have looked at a few threads regarding Aviemore and understand regarding the weather and lack of reliable snow. But would anyone have any suggestions, if we were to brave it, for good places to stay? I have been researching but cant seem to find any hotels which are ski in/ski out- does that just not exist there? I need to be close to the slopes because DH and I likely to take turns skiing and i cant drive! Unless there are transfers available. I have only ever skied in Europe so would appreciate any advice. The options I am seeing do not seem amazingly compelling for skiing specifically but may be i am not lookign in the right place. Thank you so much

@massistar , I feel you. DC were in a ski racing club, so as we had to take them for training every weekend, we passed the time waiting, by going skiing ourselves. Honestly, you need razor sharp edges to cope with sheet ice, plus the ability to jump over heather, at the same time. And the T-bars when DH is a lot taller and heavier...😱
