Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Dunno, the place seems full of hot air & its not southernly winds from the azures
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Norway had a bumper season, so interesting that Scotland missed out as they look to be in a similar location.

, not close. Norge has a more northern part of the jet stream.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Interesting how many takers there were for Glencoe's sledging slope, though I'm not sure that was exactly the basis the snowmaker was provided on...

The snow making at Glencoe never created enough volume for a decent ski run.
But they can get 200-300 sledgers per day over the xmas holidays.
Which is easy money at £15 return for the access chair.
I have only ever seen snowmaking in Scotland be used to create very small nursery slopes for first time beginners.
Glenshee seem to have done it best out all the ski areas.

Norway is much further east (away from gulf stream).
The blocking weather patterns that brought them cold easterly weather from Russia is the same system that ruined Scotlands season last year.

The Snowfactory was used for the Beginner lessons slope and the sledging slope up the hill.
