The upper slopes of Glencoe Mountain Resort have some of the best late season conditions we’ve seen in a long time and look set to offer skiing for the May holiday, depending on the weather of course.The snow is in great condition as it has remained dry, without the usual freeze/thaw action of a typical […]

Glencoe, Saturday 20th April 2013
Was unsure whether the weather would work out. Gales were forecast at high level and Coe were not updating their Facebook page. Kept checking and it wasn’t looking good. I phoned and asked about the wind. “There is no wind” they said. I was in the car before you could say Spring Snow. The car […]
Glencoe, Sunday 7th April 2013
A cloudier day with occasional snow flurries. Not too cold, hovering around freezing at 2500 feet I reckon. Snow is still in good shape. Got lost in the cloud at one point, overshooting the exit of Happy Valley.

The Easter bunny was doing the rounds hiding chocolate and there was a happy atmosphere with all the kids Easter events. However, there was an underlying melancholy. At 12 just as we went up the hill […]

Glencoe, Thursday 28th March 2013

The light wind was very cold feeling about -7. Snow is grippy and still fresh thanks to cold temperature. Overhead was cloudy with occasional sunny […]
