New Years Eve 2025.

Hoping you all have a great night tonight and best wishes for 2026🥳🥳

D**k D**k and Rope Tow are set up for you today and Barry is waiting to help you at the tow ☺️

Our sledging area is prepared and we are also running the Cairnwell Chairlift for walkers and sightseeing. Be aware that this may close early if the wind gets up.

We are open until 3.30pm today and will be here at 10am - 3pm tomorrow to help you welcome in the New Year.

Back to normal hours on the 2nd.

Hoping for some snow in the New Year so if you're 'oot at the dancin' tonight remember to put your snow dancing shoes on and do a few rounds for us.

Have a great day.
