Glencoe is hoping to get to close of play on Easter Monday, but check each morning for updates with the continuing very warm temperatures.


^Meall a' Bhuiridh directly translates as hill of the bellowing, but the bellowing refers specifically to roaring stags who frequent the mountain particularly so during the autumn rut - hence 'hill of the roaring [stag]'.


^Main Basin from the T-bar.

Sadly the planned penultimate day of the season turned into closing day - Glencoe didn't quite make Easter Monday. Any turns tomorrow will have to be earned the hard way, though the Access Chair is open daily weather permitting. While some snow remains the Plateau Cafe sledge park will be open too - will be decent on Monday, but check the webcam if thinking of going up after Easter Monday!
