10Best Says

Midlothian Snowsports Centre boasts the biggest artificial ski slope in the UK and is the training center for the Scottish Olympians. There are two main slopes, two nursery slopes and a jump slope. They offer courses for adults and children, beginners and experts. Yet the fun is not limited to skiing. Enthusiasts can take part in snowboarding and snowblading and a range of freestyle features, such as the purpose built tubing runs. Thanks to state of the art floodlighting, the slopes stay open after the sun has set. There is also a lovely cafe with incredible views of the Pentland Hills and the city of Edinburgh.
