Windy to start - calmed down in afternoon as predicted by Winterhighland and turned out to be reasonably nice day. Occassional light snow flury. 3 deg C in car park at 10: 30am - with rain at base station until 12 noon

First day of season for Glencoe - pre-Christmas skiing doesn't happen every year. Lifts opened 12 noon after windy start. No stress day with long(er) lie, take it easy breakfast before the 12 noon start - the wonders of a season ticket making it a very worthwhile day. Nice packed powder snow where pisted, a wee bit crusty in places off the groomed line. Plateau, Mugs alley easily accessible. Surprisingly good cover from plateau cafe to beginner rope tow and on to plateau. Mugs alley surprisingly full of snow for this time of the year, a wee bit lumpy in places. A wee bit walking required from bottom of cliffy chair to cafe - again not unusual for pre-Christmas. Some issues with plateau poma that were solved reasonably quickly. No queues - mountain quiet - so in terms of miles skied surprising did more (albeit on easier terrain) than on some busy days last season, despite only being up for 1/2 a day. Only access chair and plateau poma open - although I did hear Andy say at the end of the day that the Wall T bar was now ready to go (however rain for Sunday may not help overall conditions). Really enjoyable day - almost decided not to go up, glad we did
