Glencoe, Sunday 19th January 2014

Made an early start on this driech day so we could get to Coe before 9. Made good time and got to an already half full car park. The wind was moderate but the rain was persistent. On arrival at the bottom of the plateau lift the rain was still coming down, but easing with […]

A snowy drive across Rannoch Moor ended in a full car park at @GlencoeMountainResort. After the queue for tickets I made my way up the access chair and had a warm up run down Mugs Alley. Great coverage, lower down a bit grippy with ice. Some fresh was being blown around making for some soft […]

Saturday saw the first break in the weather since new year. Storm sets had been continuously rolling in from the Atlantic over the holiday period. This meant lots of people were keen to get out. Glencoe Mountain Resort was well covered in snow, with ski anywhere conditions. The queues were long though. All the main […]

First day of the 13/14 season at Glencoe. Tons of snow had arrived in the storms at Christmas. Unfortunately this had damaged the Cliffy chairlift and buried the Main Basin tbar. So no uplift to the top. This also meant the queues were pretty bad. Loads of people were up since it was the first […]

Glencoe, Sunday 26 May

Posted on 28th May 201316th September 2014

The week after my previous visit to Glencoe they decided to close all uplift due to warmer and wetter conditions. It had been a fantastic snow filled season, not just in quantity but the quality of snow was outstanding. However I had reached 16 days on Scottish snow. This equaled my previous record. I was […]
