The pressure to get open
early in the season is not just because it means
good business for the ski resort, but because of the impact it will
have on a profitable winter season for the village that nestles
in the valley below. For the past 50 years, Aviemore has
been at the heart of the Scottish
ski industry. In 1964 the Aviemore Centre
was built, a hotel complex complete with
ice rink, swimming pool and
Santa Claus Land. It was all part of an audacious plan
to transform this sleepy
Highland village into a snowsport mecca,
the St Moritz of Scotland! Bus-loads of Scottish teenagers got
their first taste of the high life in the bars and restaurants of
Aviemore
