Snow sports in Scotland

[Hammy98]

Hello all,

Looking to get a bit of snowboarding in on my time off over Christmas. So far I've only been on the dry slopes in the Glasgow area and the 'real snow' at Soar Braehead where I had my lessons.

Any recommendations for a couple of day trips? - would be traveling by car from Glasgow so would like to avoid going all the way to Aviemore.
I've heard good things about Glencoe however I've been monitoring their site and quite a few of their runs haven't been open recently.

Cheers,

Cheers for the reponses guys, I’ll try and get myself down to hillend in the coming week - been a while since I’ve been on a dry slope. I’ll definitely get down for the day if theres any snow before I start back work.

The info on Glencoe and Aviemore is much appreciated. I was unaware of the ideal ‘season’ and just assumed it would be around the new year, so hopefully can book a few days off work around March to make the most of it!

Cheers,

Appreciate the replies lads, I'd been keeping an eye on the snow reports over the holidays and didn't really see any days worth venturing up. Here's hoping for February/March.

All the info appreciated guys, was thinking of making my way up to Glencoe this weekend but Glasgow and the surrounding areas are supposedly going to be hit quite badly today and tomorrow. Stuck with a gutless courtesy car at the moment so that might put an end to my plans.

Will see if I can rope in a couple of mates to make the jaunt up.

Cheers
