I had a moment on Flypaper the other week when we were dropping into FP one at a time I just set off 3rd in line and a guy game flying down past me on his tails fell on the ice and just managed to scrabble himself to a stop so i though got to get away from this plonker, he then procceded to traverse high left just below the top across a big wide patch of unskied slab also above us all now😠 he was suitably told not to do that again.

@meandrew, thanks for that detailed link. It says "No one gave him a hard time". Very laudable, but I hope he did at least receive some gentle advice about his decision to ski a closed run....

@Alastair Pink, me and old edge predator were skiing very near and was passed by the rescue party as we were also skiing off Spring run the skier was just too far over, as I said earlier it was pretty foolish given the conditions.

@meandrew, I just watched OAP's Spring Run clips on FB. The snow quality looked wonderful, the visibility not so much. It helped the video that you were wearing some colour ... nice skiing

The weather this morning had a long article on a village in Yorkshire with 5cm of snow and the local school had to close! There has been over a foot of fresh dry snow, with sub zero temperatures where I am in Scotland. This was not expected in such quantities here. (as far west as this)
Could be a spectacular March for Scottish skiing judging by the current snow base and the forecast snow and temperatures.
The wind will reduce in March, and the sun will come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't see this much snow in the Edinburgh area for at least 8 years. We've almost a foot in our garden (just outside Edinburgh) and drifts against our conservatory as it's been whipped up by the strong wind!
Hopefully, the Scottish resorts are all being dumped on. They were all stormbound today. I should have been at Glenshee with the Scottish Schools but a decision was made on Monday to pull the races. The irony is the races didn't happen on the first date as there wasn't enough snow and now on the back-up they been cancelled as there is too much! Also at risk this week is the SSBX at Glenshee. They need to be building the course tomorrow but as the equipment is likely to be needed to get the resort functioning then there is a risk there won't be a course.

There have been folk snowboarding down the road here in Partick. Too deep on the grass by the flats to get moving, so they're using the road instead. Had a walk down it and doesn't seem to be much risk of hitting the road surface, if you keep to easy turns. Was sledging for us this evening but think I'll be breaking out the skis tomorrow. Never seen it dumping like this in the UK before, more like the Alps.

I put first tracks down the Col de Colinton in SW Edinburgh this am - lovely fresh pow but got through to the base (road) a couple of times very lightly, 5 runs before breakfast ! Heading up Allermuir later on with touring gear to see what we can find.

@larry1950, I havnt seen the Spittal one, but the Glenshee twitter account is good at letting you know if its passable or not.
I cant get the car out of my street in Edinburgh today, so a moot point !

It's been stuck on that image for weeks; the Glenshee website tells you if the road is open.

It just wont stop snowing in Scotland !
Main basin Glencoe was recording 490cm a week ago  Glenshee is really getting it now and the prospects are superb once the visibility improves and they dig the lifts out.

Glenshee today with a mate. Probably the best day skiing in Scotland since I was a kid.
A bit misty early and late, but vis for the most part was decent. Snow quality was spectacular, pistes were perfect, including those unpisted.
It was quiet, not too windy, and we did a power of skiing. All in all a great day.
N.b. if you went by met office you might not have gone. Use MWIS for accurate forecast.

I have sore legs after skiing off-piste at Glenshee all day. A great day indeed, although I found if a bit icy in parts.

Vintage season for western Scotland.
Glencoe has had a record number of summit-to-valley skidays this year.
