Glenshee or The Lecht?
I'm an intermediate snowboarder. I had a few days at The Lecht last year and wondered if Glenshee has more for me. I'm happy on blue runs and will probably soon be able to tackle red runs. The Lecht seemed a bit limited to me in the number of runs available, the narrowness of the runs and the short length. Is Glenshee better in this regard?

Yes. Lots more variety at Glenshee (assuming snow is ok) - you get much more of a sense of travel as it's spread over 3 different valleys rather than The Lecht's 1. Runs are a bit longer too.
It's still Scotland though - don't expect it to be huge.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Glenshee for me.
Just make sure you are comfortable on surface lifts.

Yup Glenshee. Lecht is an excellent bad weather option though, seems to be more sheltered

You'll need to Register first of course.

If you can use a button tow Glenshee wins. If you struggle please go to the Lecht so we can actually use the lifts instead of waiting on boarders constantly falling off
All joking aside Glenshee is fantastic given the right conditions

First post here! Glenshee is awesome, was up loads earlier in the year. Was at a similar level doing blue runs, but got on to the reds and blacks by the 3rd or 4th visit. Didn't find anything particularly difficult except the tiger black run. Pretty steep at the top but mellows out. Glas Maol is epic as stated before, has a nice drop in off a ridge off piste if you want a rush! (You can see it to the left on the lift up)
