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 :-)

Thanks for that link, Gilberts Fridge. I just tend to ski & accept it's there and don't really think about the provenance of the infrastructure, so it was an interesting read and it also surprised me that Rankin was running the area as late as 1992. One thing I'd definitely not appreciate though would be the sight of a ski lift alongside the Spring Run. It's a fact that the East Ridge ski runs are all the more atmospheric because there's a wee hike to get to them and there's no metalwork to be seen when you're in them.

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

Never skied Glencoe, I am sorry to say, and now probably never will. I have many fond memories of scrambling in the area.

Philip Rankin is a Scottish ski legend.
Great history lesson there (I actually provided a couple of scanned photos for the article).

Almost certain however that Philip Rankin retired about 1984...
However he may have remained as a director of White Corrie LTD after.
Peter Weir was the hill manager during the 1980s / 90s.

Certainly agree that everything was pretty much put in the right place from the word go.

The top T, Cliffy chair and plateau Poma are all perfectly fit for purpose and surprisingly efficient.

The Cliffy would be hard to improve on. It is very easy to ride and must be fairly simple to maintain. Any other type of chair would probably introduce all sorts of new problems. Hopefully they should still have plenty of spare parts from the decommissioned access chair which was of the same type I think. snowHead
