Report
A selection of photos from around the Plateau area at Glencoe on Thursday afternoon, between some hefty snow showers. Wind was picking up later on and a fair bit of drifting going on.
From the snow on the Rock Garden to lookers left of the top of the upper tows, and glimpses visible from the Plateau, it looks like there could be a decent amount of snow out in Etive Glades.
Meall a' Bhuiridh continues to tease, slowly edging closer to being able to connect some dots and get the lift served season underway, in the winter Glencoe celebrates it's 70th anniversary.
On that score it is worth noting that back in that original season, lift served snowsports didn't start until Monday 20th February. While 10 years ago ahead of the 60th anniversary the season begun on Tue 12th January, with the Plateau Poma and then brand new Coire Pollach Tow.
So if the season gets going this week (which might be possible, with frontal snow and strong winds forecast for Wednesday evening overnight into Thursday), it will start a few days later than 2016 season, but a full month earlier than than the 1956 season!
