^ Nice pics!

Is it just me, or is the Glenshee webcam still showing a picture from July? If so, they're missing a trick with tourers keen to see what conditions are like?!

Anyone been past recently? Just wondering if there is enough for some kiddy snow fun tomorrow. Webcam shows a covering but hard to tell how much due to bright sun!

Took a wee tour yesterday on skinny skis over to Cairn a Gheoidh .Snow cover was very thin and not consolidated. better on north facing grassy slopes. Not for good skis tho.

Thinking about a trip somewhere on Sunday - not to far from Edinburgh.
Perhaps Glenshee, or Dromocheter.
Anyone seen the snow lately?
Thanks

Took a walk up Meall Odhar and round the home run . Not much any of the thin snow left just big patches at the top half of Fionn and down the home run.

It's been broken since the summer, however the website still states:

"It is active at the moment but could fail due to a technical problem. In this event we will resolve it as soon as possible and applogise, in advance, for any lack of service."

I love skiing at Glenshee and they do a great job in the ground, but they could do with paying just a little more attention to keeping the website up to date. It would also be good marketing to replace the current "end of season" snow report with something anticipating the new season, even if it doesn't say anything more than "waiting for enough snow to open".
