I would have braved the M6 for this, probably, except I'll be in France.
It's a hard life.
Have a good trip, those that go!

Just grabbed this from the nevis range website:
Burns Day Lunches - Sun 25 January to 26 January
Celebrate Scotland’s best loved bard with a Burns lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties served from 12-2 in the Snowgoose Restaurant for only £6; add a wee dram for only £8. This will take place on both Saturday and Sunday.

Bloody hell. Skiing and Burns Night combo.
That is probably my idea of the best weekend ever.

If anyone's staying in Fort William, I'd like to stick in an advert for the Bank Street Lodge.
http://www.bankstreetlodge.co.uk/
Good prices there too. If you're a real cheapskate, a dorm room is only £14.

right well is anyone planning on staying in any of those places this weekend? is anyone coming up and where are you going? if its only 14 to say over could certainly consider the useless train service!

The weather forecasts seem to be even more vague than usual. Anyone any insight into how it may actually be on Sat/Sun? It's a long way up to find everything shut/snowed up.

roga, you lucky, awful, bastard. Have a good time man. Skiing and a proper Burns Night. I'm seething green here. When I'm tucking into my bucket of snails, I'll be thinking of haggis.

roga, I fancy a midweek trip at some stage to take advantage of the empty slopes. Would probably use the sleeper from Euston to Fort Bill and then somehow or other get a lift to Glencoe and then Nevis the following day.
Any of you lot fancy a midweeker in a couple of weeks time?

Scotland v Wales weekend of Feb 14th, not decided if I am coming up to Scotland but if I did, maybe I could come up early or stay later? and get a day sliding. Any way of getting up the mountain except for a tow/drag lift?

more helpful info from your resident scottish tourist service* here...
go here http://www.mountainaccess.co.uk/store/home.php to book your tickets for glencoe in advance and the first 50 get 33% off the lift ticket price.
I already have 2, and my order numbers are 5 digits apart so there's at most 45 left at that price for tomorrow  )

Kruisler, I've used the Sleeper a few times. It's a great way to travel from London/south east up to the mountains. Very pleasant and comfortable. Quite pricey (£200 is the full return fare but can get for £130 in advance or a lot less if you have reclining seat instead of cabin) but you effectively save two nights on accommodation.
You could leave on Friday night (9pm) and have three days on the slopes with just one day off work.
I'm hoping to make the trip again this season...
