Too much snow closes Scottish ski centre

The CairnGorm Mountain ski centre in the Highlands will be closed for the day - because of too much snow. After a two-day blizzard, the operators have had to bring in huge caterpillar vehicles and snow blowers to try to clear the approach road and the slopes.

The approach are blocked by 15ft snow drifts and parts of the funicular railway track up the mountain and the ski-tows had been covered by snow. and some of our ski-tow towers are just sticking out of the snow."
