:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsSnow showers throughout the day, with variable vizability and strong winds whipping up the snow.... not nice on exposed skin!
:: Snow Conditions & InfoNice wind blown powder all over the hill first thing in the morning. Some icy patches, but the majority of the hill offered good conditions. The Spring Run was in excellent condition, along with the Main Basin and The Wall. The Plateau was complete to the Access Chair and the poma up track was in good condition for beginners.

:: Snow Cover
Excellent Cover
:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsHeavy snow showers and strong winds all day. A few extremely brief sunny periods gave excellent visibility, but mostly it ranged from 100m to white out. FL around the mid station (~ 900m), but snowing from about half way up the access.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoWide and deep snow cover on upper runs, snow line just below plateau level. Wind packed powder was drifting all day, making for excellent conditions on upper runs, especially Main Basin and Spring Run. Lower runs were softer owing to freezing level, but wide cover to bottom of Plateau Poma. Very atypical conditions for this time of year - snow should easily last into May...

:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsIt always rains when I go to Glencoe and this was no exception!
:: Snow Conditions & InfoYou could see the whole mountain from the A82 on the drive in but it started raining and didnt really stop for the rest of the day. Snow from about 7-800m for a bit but by lunchtime the freezing level was above the summit. Great cover on the upper runs, snow sticky and forming some moguls in places. WAX your kit, I didnt and kind of chugged along at times!
:: RidersLower runs all skiable but there are a few brown / bare patches. Easily rideable down to the top of the acces chair. Mike & Fiona
