Conditions have been improving across the hill. Although some wind facing slopes had been scoured and Spring Run was iced up as was Etive Glades. Fly paper was closed so didn’t venture anywhere near these runs. Plenty of laps on Main Basin, the Wall and Mugs Alley the latter of which has really filled in. […]

Glencoe Saturday 2nd February 2013
Some stormy conditions through the week gave way to lighter winds and the promise of sunshine. Saturday arrived and all was good. A slippy drive up Lomond side and close encounter with a Red Deer hind couldn’t stop us. The sun was out indeed and temps were cool. No wind to speak of, although we […]

Warm wind and rain threatening to destroy all snowpack. Glad to get up. Started out nice on the drive up, however rain was incessant once in the hill. Main basin was all that was left and was icy and scoured. Made the most of it. But, all snow sports now suspended until further snowfall.

Glencoe 29 January 2012
Having missed some sunny days midweek Sunday was the only day I could do. There was a chance of sunny spells but as daylight broke it was clear the clouds were here to stay. Winds were light and temperature just below zero. We went straight up as lower slopes were scoured. The main basin had […]
