For Scotland it's a great ski area (I will not use the word "resort" to describe any Scottish ski area because it's ridiculously grandiose for what we have). There isn't much variety of terrain, it's all basically the same, but if you're just scratching your ski itch then that's fine. The lifts are very slow, and even though they have a "new" chair it hardly ever opens. Any wind will see it closed. The big problem for me is that most of the lifts don't actually go to the top of the runs they serve! There is an awkward flat/uphill link between the top of the tow (they are pretty much all tows there) and the run. Linking up between runs is also pretty poor, the layout hasn't really been thought through, but it's too late now. On a positive note the area is pretty big (for Scotland) and people can spread out, with lifts getting quieter the further back from the road you go. Parking is always pretty easy, never had an issue even in the busiest days (which is more than can be said for any of the other ski areas). However, because the bottom of the ski area is so high all of the runs are painfully short. You will be queuing for 60% of your time. The runs are not well delineated and only generally correspond to the piste map. But hey, if you're in Scotland and want to ski, then it's probably the best place unless you're looking for advanced runs. There's very little for advanced skiers here, although some of the off-piste(ish) areas between runs can be good if there's enough snow.
