All Highland ski centres open.

The recent wintry cold weather has provided Scotland's Highland ski centres with their best snow for years. All five resorts were open this weekend with most main runs complete as well as extensive nursery areas for skiers and snowboarders. It is quite unusual for all the centres to be open with good snow cover at the same time.Cairngorm reported skiing 'from top to bottom' ,the Lecht [near Balmoral]opened its rail park last Thursday, and Glenshee has snow across three valleys. Glencoe has loads of snow with all pistes complete and Nevis Range, near Fort William, has good skiing conditions. Reports say that this winter season will be brilliant with some of the best snow seen for years. More snow forecast for the Scottish Highlands later this week.
