ledge, yeah I'm up at the moment, currently away from Aviemore (back later today) but there's been a big snow loss.
Fingers crossed for snow in the week, it's at least looking hopeful

Alans deep bath, Thanks for posting, I'm feeling slightly encouraged now and have fingers firmly crossed.
Last chance for some festive Scottish sliding for me is 30/31 so fingers fully crossed for new snow ASAP

Some heavy snow showing up on the radar, hopefully sticking where it needs to in order to get things up and running again.

En route to Cairngorm now. Just north of Forth Rd Bridge, 3C & rainy - tho forecast is still mild tomorrow....Winterhighland website suggesting that there could be 3 draglifts running - weather permitting....

UPDATE! 0C at Perth & sign on A9 flashing that the snowgates are shut at Glenshee!

mountainaddict, I shouldn't get too excited about the A93 being closed as it doesn't take much to close that road as the hill is so steep also its not unusual for them to close it overnight for safety.

You know it makes sense.

larry1950 Aye, position noted - we know the A93 well. Just got a bit excited after the snowless scenario of a couple of days ago!

Would you mind if I borrow this photo to send to some folk to show the Coe Cup face?

Roger C, I think you made the right choice to stay at home. Snow conditions weren't ideal. Glencoe wasn't open at all during my brief visit north. Cairngorms had skiable conditions on the 30th with a few areas of "thin cover" I had sparks coming off my edges! and didn't see the snow cannon working. On the 31st I decided to make use of my skins and head out of the marked ski area. I hardly saw a soul all day and had one of my best ski experiences in Scotland, skiing all the way down to a loch I have yet to identify, snow on the back of the mountain was in excellent condition with almost full cover all the way down. I wouldn't have relished a second day on piste (heather and stones) and there had been a further thaw overnight and the snow had receeded even further.
I think conditions improved after I departed as it was snowing quite heavilly that evening so hopefully things will be much improved in the the near future.

Ledge, if you went directly off the back of Cairngorm from the Ski Area, it would probably have been Loch Avon you ended up at.

Looks like there has been a fair amount of new snow

Just back from a loooong drive down from Aviemore - snow was puking down on the Drumochter, at points it was close to being blockd and there were drifts almost as high as the car by the road. Am surprised looking at the Winterhighland web cams that they're showing much less than I expected though! 
Good seeing you ledge, sorry I wasn't that talkative when I saw you on the 31st - knackering lesson plus the start of a stinking cold which made todays drive no fun at all - now utterly knackered and will take to my bed for a day or two I think!
BTW, quite right about on piste, was total pants most of the time but hopefully this weeks storms will improve the situation considerably.

Hope everything's OK up there. I've been watching tiles rain off my roof all morning!
Not as unlucky as this (at least there's snow on the hills...)

It was a bluebird start in the East this morning, Glenshee looks to have a good turnout as people take advantage and it's open out to at least the Caenlochan Poma.
