Snow.Guide Ski Editor Rob Stewart travels north by rail and road to reach Scotland’s ski slopes during the February half-term week and discovers that a Highland winter holiday is a breath of fresh air and despite the appeal of a cosy cabin, there’s no reason to hang around when there’s snow to be skied.
