roga, due to forecasted deterioration to weather horribleness, I'm backing down from this weekend too. It's a pity though that the blizzard Wednesday couldn't have arrived just 2 days later. Still, the Scottish season's only just over 1/2 way through.

What's the outlook for the rest of the week? Is it likely to be worth a journey north?

Looks like Tuesday is the golden day this week followed by rain/snow/high winds.

Thought it would have been awesome just home from work and waiting on my dad getting back and telling it was the best skiing day of the century and rubbing it in that i had to work!!!!
What makes it even more annoying is that i've just got in and it turns out he's taken half my gear aswell lol

I was also at Nevis today. Plenty of snow on the whole and blue skies! The goose and the fairway were nice. Also managed a run over in the back corries - maybe a bit stupid of us considering the avi risk, but it was very nice.

Just walked in after the weekend in Fort William, the snow that was up on Goose was quality on Sunday but using the Alpha tow to get to the Goose was a killer! Tad icey up on the Summit tow, but I was quite happy with the amount and quality of snow up there.
The park did look quite good to me, however did'nt explore it due to not knowing the mountain and only being able to see 10m in front of me. Hence mostly just did laps of the Summit and Goose.
Had a great weekend but all the locals need to calm down a bit, I know it was the Scottish cup final and but saw a few fists flying a bit to regulary for my liking!

What's the outlook for next week? Is it worth me taking my skis up North with me or should I leave them at home and take the bike instead?

Elizabeth B just now it looks like you should be hitting the single track. I swapped my skis out of the basement for my bike today.. depends what you consider worth while skiing

That bad? Well, on the basis that I still have a week (or maybe 2 if I can afford it) left to ski in Austria this season, it may be worth saving the lift ticket cash!!

Winterhighland website (http://www.winterhighland.info/general/) is still reporting fairly decent conditions - eg 1300 feet vertical @ Cairngorm, Nevis and Glencoe.
We're off to Geneva this weekend (ski destination unknown at present, staying in Sallanches so the ski world (as Alan Partridge might say) is quite literally our oyster.....) but hoping that Scotland holds out for the weekend after.

There is still enough snow at Nevis for a fun day....
Upper goose is still wide and softened to give nice spring snow by the afternoon.
Summit run is full width and there are quite a few features in the park. Spider, inside edge and cat track are also open and complete  .
