Spent a Sunday skiing at Glencoe. The location is beautiful, the staff were all very kind and the facilities were cosy.
As it was a beautiful, sunny Sunday us (and what seemed like half of glasgow) decided to make the drive to Glencoe. We arrived at 8:50 and were fortunate to get one of the last places in the parking lot. (A few minutes later other cars had to be turned back down the long drive and park on the main road.)
Unfortunately the large crowds meant long lines for tickets and rentals. The staff did their best walking the line and selling cast tickets, but it took 45 minutes or so for tickets and a further 90 to then get rentals. They do advise, (and I would recommend) waiting to get tickets until you have your rentals as we could have saved money on a half day ticket by the time we were ready to ski.
Similar to parking, we got one of the last sets of rentals- the staff were pulling all the equipment they had and even fixing broken equipment to try to get everyone out.
One we finally got on the mountain the quality of snow was very good. There is one main access lift and several t-bars with a single chair lift at the top. We enjoyed the scenery and the hot chocolate and fire place in the restaurant were a great place to warm up at the end of the day.
I'd try to get there earlier next time, but still a great day out. read more
