As the famous Aberdeenshire snowsports centre hopes to open for the season on Monday, Gayle Ritchie looks back at the stories behind the venture. Glenshee in the late 1930s. The perfect spot for a group of friends, fresh from learning to ski in Europe, who came here to practise their new-found sport. With no chairlifts or ski tows in sight, they were forced to hike all the way up to the top of the hills before they could enjoy an exhilarating ski back down.
