Easter Monday! It’s been a while since Coe could boast at being open at this time of year. But the news was not all good. Today was forecast 15-30mph winds I thought since it hadn’t lived up to this the last few times, I’d risk going up. I sat in the car as it rocked […]

Glencoe, Saturday 15 April, 2006
Glencoe is still holding on with a good cover of snow all over the hill. Wet conditions with spring snow, slightly less wet higher up where showers are more wintery. Visibility above Mugs Alley was very poor but the snow was better. Winds once again were not a problem, but this is probably why the […]
Glencoe, Sunday 9th April

Lots of water rushing off all the hills due to warm temperatures. Lower runs were broken including mugs alley. Main Basin was holding together well, did not […]
Glencoe, March 19, 2006

Etive Glades and Happy Valley again proving to be the best runs. Crust gone and slow spring type conditions prevail. There was the odd snow flurry in […]
