Probably not what we should be writing on a Glencoe blog, but had a great day skiing at Cairngorm yesterday. The weather was a little dreich across in the west and as its been a while since we last visited, thought it time for a change.
The drive across was quite spectacular, with deep snow lining the road verges and hanging from the branches all the way across from Spean Bridge. So nice to see in Scotland. The car parks were full to overflowing and there were people out enjoying the winter wonderland everywhere. Loch Morlich was frozen (unsurprising at -18 degrees!) and had a covering of snow on it (see the middle of the above photo). And the snow was plentiful and in great condition.
There's still plenty of snow here on the west side - though everywhere looks like its going to see a bit of a thaw over the next few days. And though we decided to head east yesterday, both Nevis Range and Glencoe Mountain are reaping the benefits of a proper Scottish winter - for the moment at least!
