Looking up the hill track that is thin but mostly skiable to the Carpark, was better lower down this afternoon.
Decent turns on this section of the Weasel Track, but some very thin bits to beware off!
Looking up the Plateau Poma which is scheduled to make it's season debut on Wednesday 28th Dec.
Looking down the Red Access Run from the Weasel Track, looks inviting here and skied reasonably to here, but carnage likely towards carnage corner!
Ski off at the top of the Access Chair over to the Plateau Poma.
Looking over to the Plateau Poma.

Report
Glencoe is set to launch the West Coast season tomorrow (Wed 28th Dec) with the Plateau Poma and Coire Pollach Tow due to open. Early season conditions and limited terrain mean ski tickets are limited, so it is advisable to pre book snowsports tickets at http://glencoe.skicloud.co.uk/ .
Early season fresh snow cover with only a patchy base of older snow, so floaty skis and not new kit is recommended. Though only green runs will be open on the hill it's not suitable for novices, but ski school can operate first timer lessons on the nursery slope at the Plateau Cafe and the snow covered Dryslope depending on the weather.
Ticket office and uplift scheduled to open at 9am on Wednesday. If you are arriving tonight, please park around the edge of the overflow carpark, or the row closest to the hobbit houses in the main carpark, to leave the rest of it clear should further snow clearing be required in the morning.
