Bob,
I just use my Dads car when I am home (back in Helensburgh, makes the drive easier) but I'm not going to reveal it on the internet incase I have angered any other road users 
That is some bad luck!! At least you got going in the end. Was it busy?

As already establised, Nevis was pretty perfect today!! The back corries were amazing.
Put a few nasty core shots in my missions though haha
Tried to look out for someone fitting your description Arv but no luck!

The traverse out of the back corries was getting a bit rocky but nothing you couldn't avoid if you were being careful. Unfortunately I wasn't and did some damage. Take your time and you'll be fine.
Don't be a pussy

Just back from Nevis Range, i just wish the weather was the same as you guys experienced yesterday.
Visibility was horrendous, down to about 10 meters at times. Very flat light (obviously), not a nice day at all.
Ended up leaving around 12.30, and looked like there were quite a few others doing the same

Razer, was there much new snow? Thinking about heading up again tomorrow. The forecast suggests better weather than today.

first time there this season, i've been at glenshee all year so i'm not sure on previous conditions but the snow cover was pretty good lower down, and excellent up top. back corries was closed so not sure about there. But it was snowing this morning and still coming down lightly when i left
ARV - all i can say is, what queues lol. place seemed deserted. although there were a few more people starting to turn up when i left, but this would be countered by the number of people leaving

Any thoughts on how good the snow might be next weekend? We were planning on the alps for a long weekend but may hit Scotland instead. Had a couple of great days at Nevis last month. Midweek forecast looks like rain and high temps for Inverness and Fort William.

Went to the Lecht today. Morning was light snow and poor visibility, but the sun came out by 1:30pm and the afternoon was very pleasant.

glasgowcyclops, what do you think on the Nevis vs. Coe debate after today? Did you get a look off the back?
Did Braveheart run?

The Mrs reckons I've already skied far too much this season so I've got to try and keep the costs down. The lads I'm going with haven't experienced Scottish skiing yet. Ok Scotland isn't the Alps but good skiing is good skiing wherever you are
