One is an off-piste ski area with hike-to terrain that you (are recommended to) ski with a guide; the other is a normal ski area.
It's like comparing La Grave with Espace Killy - or chalk and cheese...

Still full cover by the look of it. Forecast is dry after today but then possibly cooling down a little next week but the signal is not clear.
Happy webcam watching.

Yes...49 days may be a bit of a long shot....I'm thinking (worst case scenario) that we could see Nov/Dec/Jan skiing written off, with countries refusing to allow tourists...

@Peter S, it appears from the link above that Glencoe may have stockpiled snow on the plateau run. Anyone know anything about this?

There has been a midsummer-day's ski event at Glencoe in previous years, so maybe they're hoping that lockdown may be relaxed in a couple of months...
If it comes off could be worth a trip in late-spring/early summer, as there could well be some great lines remaining in some of the gullies & lee-slopes

The foreseeable future is dry and not particularly warm so the snow cover will persist well into April.

I've pondering if Scotland will have a super busy season next year if international travel is limited and the Alps and off limits. Maybe the ESOB in Fort William ?

Only if they get snow early enough. Despite the fabulous conditions above it probably wouldn’t have been that busy at Glencoe because so many give up at Easter, either losing interest by then or assuming there is no snow for skiing.
In the good years it is usually a lack of skiers rather than a lack of snow that triggers the end of the season.

@Peter S, That's a fair comment. We usually ski Glencoe at Easter and it's never been busy. If they let us out I may head up for the midsummer, ski assuming the snow lasts

I'm not on Facebook - so assuming there's still a lot of snow up there...Which is good - while there's snow there's hope! (Of getting up there to ski it....)
