"Nevis Range" is the name given to Scotland's newest resort, located on the slopes of Aonach Mor, one of the eight mountains in Scotland with a summit over 4000ft. It opened around ten years ago and therefore is well equipped with modern facilities including gondola access, a new cafeteria, and Scotland's only 4 person continental style chairlift. Until 1998 the area serviced by lifts was basically just one basin, with one main run, a fairly steep, wide basin called the Snowgoose. There is a short button tow above that but the Summit run is short and fairly flat. However the '98 season saw the debut of a new lift system extending the area into the back corries. These used to provide superb off piste riding on the occasions when there was enough snow; and they continue to offer great riding, but to more people now.

Aonach Mor is a fantastic location when the weather is clement, with outstanding views across Ben Nevis and down over Fort William and Loch Linnhe to the west and from the summit area a panorama over the central Highlands. With new snow the runs are very good too, there's plenty of opportunity to take different lines and make the most of the open aspect of the basin. When the snow isn't so plentiful the runs do tend to become narrow and icy limiting your options and the position means that it can be an exposed spot when the weather's bad. When conditions are good, though, Nevis Range can offer an awesome day's 'boarding, particularly in the back corries.
