No chance that was yesterday, it was a total whiteout and there was no fresh snow on the runs really-certainly not that much

Viz was less than 10m at the top and first thing ou couldn't see the single seater from the access chair

Must be dated wrong-prob uploaded it on 29th

Any luck with the snow cannon yet? Looking forward to boarding some manmade stuff at the Coe.

Good day on Sunday in the end. Amazing what a difference that button lift running and helpful lifties make to q's.

We had some major power issues from the gales in December, but should have things sorted to run the cannon very soon.

All quiet on the coe front?

I was at GC on Tuesday and today. Tuesday was windy and cloudy, today was blue skies, no wind.

Sadly flypaper, Etive and Rannoch Glades closed due to ice. The rest of the mountain has very firm snow, grippy with lots of patches of ice. The ice is mainly in high traffic areas such as the middle of pistes and start of each run. best snow is to the outside of the pistes.

Spring run was great all day tuesday and most of today, sadly getting progressively icer as the day wore on and whatever snow there was had been scraped away.Most fun was a couple of mid afternoon runs down the bank to skiers left of the canyon. Top half is very icy, but bottom half is grippy and fast.

Bring on the fresh stuff over the weekend,

Fabulous snow for me & my youngest lad to enjoy at Glencoe today with freshies to be found in lots of places & skier packed snow elsewhere. Wide cover, nice weather and great skiing. smiling smiley

Really good to see lots of customers enjoying it too and with all the lifts running & so much space to ski, there was very little queueing. Smiles all around. smiling smiley

Glencoe Mountain Resort facebook page seems to be suffering from serious verbal diarrhea ? 18 official status updates in 48 hours.

Any chance the information can be condensed down to just important information ? Otherwise I am going to have unsubscribe - it is filling up the entire news feed when I log in!

i like their updates, if all they did was post about conditions and suchlike it would be boring. it adds a bit of character and helps build an identity.
