Was up in Glen Coe yesterday and conditions are superb!

Skiable right down to bottom, not much pisted since there is so much snow so off piste conditions are spot on. Vis was poor higher up but it improved later in the day.

Pictures to follow later. 🙂

Mate of mine was up at Glenshee last Friday (11th March).
Blue skies, sunshine, fresh snow and no queues apparently.

ps if you look at the picture of me (blue salopettes) that black line going across the picture is the rannoch moor road. It is the only thing that is not white in a 360 view. Very rare conditions!!

Glen Coe today was pretty mental. Icy winds, great snow, sun, hail, blizzards, whiteouts, spindrift, lots of prangs from me, etc. The top of the mountain was just a great mountain experience despite the strong wind and low vis.

Came home a happy chappy today 🙂

(a bit sore now mind you)
