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 :-)

Cairngorm Mountain is to run two tow lifts in midsummer for the first time ever.
Previously, at this time of year, people have been able to ski in the Cairngorms but only if they trekked to where the snow was. This year, tows are to be made available to skiers at the resort just days ahead of midsummer.

Glencoe, on the west coast, also opened over the weekend. A first for Glencoe, too, I imagine:

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Was at Cairngorm today, they had 2 temporary rope tows for about half the normal length of the ptarmigan tow. The snow was nice but it was a pretty small run, still nice to be out on 20th June. However we skied down the Ciste Gully for the last run of the day and it was great, snow lasted until about 200m from the boardwalks and was lovely conditon and pretty wide all the way down. The hike back up to the top of the Daylodge poma wasn't so lovely though, was pretty knackered after walking through deep heather in ski boots carrying my skis

Incredible to be skiing in Scotland on the longest day ! Does any of the snow there actually last all through the summer ? Even just small patches of it ?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes usually. You need to get over to

The data provided will help Chionophile and Firefly et al write their annual Weather paper on snow patch survivals.
