@mountainaddict, all booked. Alarm set for 2.30am, pick my mate up at 3am. Leave Manchester and Drive to Nevis range, ETA 8.30-9am. Days skiing then overnight hotel just outside fort William on the Caledonian canal. Sunday get up and breakfast, drive to glencoe for a 4/5 hour session then head home. I just hope there is enough ski hire at both places. Both have our own boots just need to rent skis and poles. Can't wait!

Caledonian Canal?? Must be Moorings Hotel Ricklovesthepowder?? We were booked in there for 2 nights last weekend with Hotels.com.....but found out at the 11th hour that we'd been overbooked and there was no room at the inn... 
Annoying to say the least - although the replacement hotel that Hotels.com provided instead (Alexandra, Fort Bill) was superb - after they paid the difference on a more expensive hotel and gave us £75 credit on our account.

| Unless there is a lot of cooling and more snow in the next week or so I can see Scottish season drawing to a close |
Still very mild and sunny - but reported on Winterhighland as:
- Not thawing much as air is very dry.
- Great skiing.
- Looking good up to and including the weekend.

Definitive spring skiing this weekend at glencoe. Just perfect

Anyone at cairngorm today or tomorrow? Day off on Tuesday and planning on heading up.
Would be good to get a snow report that isn't from cairngorm's Facebook page- they say great conditions- bit skeptical!
Looks like sun will be away by Tuesday but a cloudy day there is certainly better than a day at work!

Weekend looks Ok with light winds and good visibility at glencoe. Still reporting over 4m of snow in the main basin although the lower slopes are now getting thin.
Still plenty of really good skiing though

FAQ
) 
It hurt a bit but nothing too bad. The question for me is this: do I risk it this weekend at Nevis? I'm supposed to be helping out with course setting and maintenance for the Bairns Bucket and don't want to let them down.
