The good news is that both Cairngorm and Glencoe plan to offer uplift this weekend and provided the winds ease and the skies clear there should be some very good late season sport on offer. Snow depths on the upper slopes remain impressive and fresh snow was falling on Friday. Glenshee, Nevis Range and the Lecht are now closed for the season.

Brighter and in the Highlands now but also cooler and snow showers returned on Thursday. Only Cairngorm is offering uplift this week with some great skiing on the White Lady and the Cas. Glencoe and Nevis Range may open again this weekend, weather permitting. Glenshee and the Lecht are unlikely to open again, unless the forecast snow for the weekend turns out to be heavier and more prolonged than expected.

Wet and windy in the Highlands again today and only Cairngorm is offering uplift with skiing on the White Lady and the Cas. Glencoe and Nevis Range hope to open again this weekend, weather permitting.

The Lecht and Nevis Range are closed for the season now but the other 3 centres still hold enough snow to offer good sport when the overhead conditions are right. Unfortunately the forecast for the first half of this week is windy and wet. The uplift on offer will be subject to demand and the winds could also have a say in what is on offer, especially at Cairngorm.

Nevis Range is now closed for the season but the other four centres still plan to offer skiing this weekend. There was some fresh snow on Friday and some excellent spring snow skiing on offer despite the snow pack having reduced substantially in the last week - the Lecht for example has only one run complete now. Cairngorm, Glencoe and Glenshee should be offering good sport on their upper slopes this weekend, weather permitting.

Nevis Range is now just opening for weekends, the other four centres are operating daily, weather permitting, with lifts running subject to demand. High winds are still causing problems at Cairngorm and Glencoe and on Wednesday both were again closed due to the weather. The forecast will deliver more windy and wet days this week so it is beginning to look certain the best of the season is now past and despite recent fresh snow on the summits the snow is now wet and thawing at all elevations.

Fresh snow on the summits of the Scottish Highlands again and high winds are still causing uplift to be restricted.

Full thaw conditions now in the Scottish Highlands with very high winds causing uplift to be restricted for the last two days. The forecast looks set to deliver more very windy, and also wet, days this week so it is beginning to look like the best of the season is now past - but what a great season it has been! Nevis Range is now just opening for weekends, the other centres are operating daily with most lifts running subject to wind speeds and skier demand.

The incredible Scottish ski conditions continue with a dusting of fresh snow again reported on Friday. All five of the centres are offering more or less 100% of their pistes and great conditions can be expected to continue this weekend until mild air finally takes hold in the Highlands, expected later this weekend, and the condition of the snow starts to deteriorate at all elevations.

Some of the best snow cover and ski conditions the Highlands have ever offered in April are still being served up by all five of the ski centres. The forecast suggests this excellent situation will be maintained until milder air finally arrives on Sunday. Until then it remains cold and windy with snow showers but also some decent sunny spells.

Some fresh snow is recorded at all five of the Scottish ski centres and this is falling on already deep and wide snow cover. All centres are offering superb ski conditions this week and the weather continues to be both cold and wintry. Skiing is good at all elevations and typically on hard packed dry snow conditions.

Still cool air from the east moves over the Highlands and the fantastic conditions at all five of the ski centres are being maintained. On Sunday there was also a light fall of new snow which further freshened up conditions at all elevations. All centres will be open this week offering more or less all pistes with full snow cover and skiing on skier packed or groomed dry snow.

Another superb ski weekend in Scotland with all five of the centres in the Highlands open and offering more or less all pistes and uplift. Skiing is typically on skiers packed and groomed dry snow and with temperatures still cool for the time of year minimal snow loss is occurring. Happy days indeed for Scottish skiing.

Another great Scottish ski day on Friday and the weekend forecast suggests the massive snow cover will remain intact at all elevations. All five centres in the Highlands will be more or less offering all uplift and all pistes with full width and depth cover. Skiing is typically on hard packed dry snow with icy patches in high traffic areas.

The remarkable volume of snow lying at all five of the Scottish ski centres is becoming harder packed now, largely due to the number of skiers enjoying the record breaking conditions. All five centres are continuing to operate most uplift and all pistes are full width and depth at all elevations. In summary; great skiing right now in Scotland.

A memorable Easter for skiers in Scotland with all five centres boasting full snow cover at all elevations and also sunny skies. The snow condition is best described as hard packed powder on more or less all pistes. The forecast suggests this Easter week will continue to offer decent overhead conditions and cool temperatures so this

Perhaps the best Easter skiing conditions in Scotland ever and with the cold weather set to remain for another week it looks like lots more alpine style ski conditions will be available. All five centres will be open this week and offering more or less all pistes with groomed and packed powder snow conditions at all elevations.

Conditions for skiers on Saturday in the Scottish Highlands could hardly have been better. The snow cover is superb at all elevations and all pistes are fully complete. All five centres propose more of the same for Sunday and it looks likely that the Scottish overhead conditions will be superior to those in the Alps!

Exceptionally good ski conditions can be expected in the Scottish Highlands this weekend and it is hard to remember an Easter with conditions anything close to what is currently on offer. All pistes in Scotland have full width and depth snow cover with skiing typically on packed or groomed powder snow. The five ski centres will be offering almost 100% of uplift and terrain this weekend.
