Now that the state has spoken I'm starting tae doubt Glencoe has snow or is even on this planet, any credible sources for the powder up there?

Sure it will be worth it when your homegrown crop matures.

Glencoe features on Reporting Scotland tonight - you'll find it on iPlayer, fast forward to the last 5 mins or so of the program, between the sport and weather you'll find the feature on Glencoe. Great to see the coverage on TV

A few pix from Glencoe today. It was a bit busier than Cairngorm was yesterday but max queue was only about 2 minutes long so skiing was pretty much non-stop. Best line from the summit was the main basin to the bottom of the wall T-Bar via the Canyon smiling smiley

Northern skyline from the summit T-Bar ...


Across Rannoch Moor from the Spring Run ...


Main Basin in perfect condition ...

Discovered that I managed to sneak in to the report, after a slightly awkward launch from the chairlift: [youtu.be]

Great to see some deserved TV coverage.
I spent Thursday 30th of April letting gravity pull me pleasantly down the wonderful slopes of Glencoe mountain. It was a lovely day and I was determined to post a public report - There seem to be less of these than there used to be and it would be a shame if the fickle fads of the Faeces book were to derail one of this site's prime attributes.
Anyhoo, I .... erm ... haven't got round to it! So here's a rather naff video of a quick slide on the main basin and some photos.

Glencoe - great set up, Thanks. Enjoy it if you get there before the end of the season.
