Glencoe Mountain Resort, United Kingdom

Glencoe Mountain Resort summary
Glencoe Mountain Resort is a great wee resort just 2hrs drive from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Probably has the best in-bounds terrain of all the Scottish resorts with gully lines to be had everywhere. Try the fly paper, or if conditions permit, the run to the car park.
After a sticky patch when closure threatened, Glencoe Mountain Resort was bought by new owners in 2004 and again in 2007 and is now operating 5 days a week from January to April. After a few mild years, if Scottish winters get back to normal, then the future looks bright for Glencoe Mountain Resort.

Visitor Reviews of Glencoe Mountain Resort
Ross from Moffat from UNITED KINGDOM writes:
We ski one or two weeks in Europe and 10 or 15 days in Scotland every year but it's always a pleasure to go to Glencoe (Glencoe Mountain Resort), alone or with my children. We don't expect immaculate Alpine grooming and easy, flattering motorway pistes because this is a real mountain without the rough edges polished away. The nicest bunch of staff plus the best natured customers give the place a great feeling too. The ticket price is great value as you'll get loads more time actually skiing / boarding without the huge queues you often get at the bigger ski centres in Scotland. Great views everywhere with runs like Etive Glades and the Spring far away from ski lifts and other eyesores and I still haven't found a steeper, more exhilarating marked run than the short, sharp and stunning Fly paper, anywhere in Europe let alone Scotland.
Glencoe rocks. :)
