SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 1, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks to our friend Patrick Thorne: Scotland Opens For Halloween Skiing Scotland's Lecht ski area has opened for skiing and boarding today, October 31st, following recent heavy snowfalls which are continuing across Scotland's mountains. The Eagle 1, Grouse and Snowy Owl pistes are all complete but they have some thin areas. There is no nursery area complete at present. Cairngorm above Aviemore hopes to open tomorrow, November 1st. "It is snowing quite heavily here today and we are hoping to open for skiing tomorrow but it will only be a narrow run from the Ptarmigan station via the traverse, Cas and zig-zags using the train for access and not suitable for beginners." said a resort spokesman. At the other three Scottish areas Nevis Range, Glenshee and Glencoe the resorts currently report that though there have been falls of snow on the mountain over the last few days but not enough to commence snow sports.

coldcat 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 This is the Pyrinees (Spain) 2 days ago. At the time 75cm of powder have felt (even to the lowest levels). It's been still snowing ever since then. The first resort to open is opening tomorrow. Others don't open because they don't have staff at this time of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
