Likewise, I may well pack the car up and set off up there over the weekend with my lad; he's 12 and can ski okay.
Given the choice of all the areas; which would be the one to head to for a bit of prepared snow and a bit of sidecountry??

Mosha Marc, Glencoe would be my choice, think of it like a mini Verbier/La Grave in terms of terrain, and judging by the recent pics the lower slopes are well manicured at the moment for your lad.
I am *guessing* it will be also be the least busy......but would be interested in other folks thoughts, especially as I am thinking of doing the same with my kids.....

I'll be in Fort William Friday night with a view to Glencoe or Nevis Range on Saturday depending on weather. Then heading over to Aviemore till Tuesday evening, but may commute to Glen Shee and/or The Lecht just to get as many under my belt as possible.
Happy to meet up with others for a drink and maybe a slide.

This may sound a bit naff, but where are the nearest towns to Glen Coe? Is it Fort William??

think I've skied about 45-50 days this season 6 in France (never ending snow on the PSB) ... 13 in Italy... rest in Scotland... today would be in my top 3 I was at Cairngorm....
every run was good...
greens: all lower mountain was in great shape
blues: fircal,m2+daylodge, 105 all super cruisey
reds: m1, sidetrack, 100m wide white lady... all groomed and motorway
other reds and blacks: fresh snow on............ lower east lady (cut across just where the elephant fence starts)... number 1 gully and over to number 2 gully... ciste gully itself was very good too....
very happy  here

Lovely pics, you must have been there reasonably early, the cliffhanger chair had a queue and no empty seats that I saw the whole time I was there.
