Fantastic! Fresh snow after a few stormy days. All the way from the summit down to the car park. Not a breath of wind and blue skies all day. About -5 at the top but nice in the sun. Snow firm and wind packed. Spring run best as usual. Lovely consolidated pack. The busiest I’ve […]

Glencoe, Sunday 1st April 2007
No April fool today – beautiful weather persists all day. Clear skys once again lead to lovely spring conditions. A firm pack with corn snow was available in the Main Basin. Flypaper and Spring Run were open but the walk out put me off. Good fun messing about in spring conditions. The Glencoe park looks […]

Took the Friday off work and headed up on my own to Glencoe. A beautiful day from the outset and a lovely drive up the A82. Although Coe has not had much snow the Main Basin was full and enough was there to warrant the best part of a day up there. Temperatures were quite […]
Friday at Glencoe

This is also the first time I’ve ridden Coe in May (previously Nevis Rage was the only location boasting this fact). What had been a brown lower half of the hill had been transformed […]
Glencoe, Friday 29th April, 2006
An accident, closing the A82 forced us to take a diversion via Inverary adding half an hour on to journey time. However it was a cracking day and the scenery made it easier. Once at Coe we had a great time on soft spring snow. Sun was streaming and temperatures were hot. However the upper […]
Glencoe, Sunday 23rd April
Glencoe is still going. After a storm-bound Saturday the weather eased slightly for Niels and I to head for Coe. All lifts were open providing access to spring snow conditions on all runs. Spring Run was best, Flypaper fun. Thrombosis had a nice gully exit to jump and the run down Etive Glades and the […]
