We are very lucky in Glencoe in having this brilliant and energetic revival of the Skiing area on our doorstep. It has opened up the winter holiday period for everyone. That's why we are offering £200 off our low season rates for anyone who wants to take our cottage for a week. The cottage sleeps up to 4 and has a drying room and ski store. For details Email us

With heavy snow falling all over the country the Glencoe ski resort looks like it is on track to have it’s earliest ever opening.  For details about the opening date you can go to  the Glencoe ski resort

There is now a brand new beginner's area with a dedicated tow just for the snow sports school. that will make life easier for the learners.

A new terrain park is being created. This will have features for advanced riders and also a new beginner’s area making the park accessible to all levels of skier and snowboarder. The snow sports school will offer freestyle lessons every day.

Hiring gear is not a problem, you can hire skis or a snowboards, most of them brand new. Trespass ski suits also available.

Glencoe offers some of the best off piste opportunities in Scotland, and is famous for having Scotland's steepest black run. The beginners area is kindly as well.

It is all looking really good - I'm amazed at the energy of the management team. It is a lesson to us all in how to get a business going.

Glencoe Mountain ski resort set to go great guns again this Winter

There is no doubt about the enthusiasm and energy of the new Glencoe Mountain team - the ski resort in Glencoe. These are the winter/summer views. It is tremendous fun there.

They have turned themselves into what is called a Commnity Interest Company. This is a normal trading company but it is created for the benefit of the community and not for private advantage. It ends up belonging to the community. It might make it easier to attract financial support to upgrade the facilities. It already has the total support of the community in Glencoe - they keep us all involved as well.

The first move that the CIC has made is to cap the prices of season tickets at the same price as last year. Early bird season pass prices (Those bought before 30th Nov) are £250 for an Adult season pass & £125 for a junior season pass. Discounted season passes for local children are also available at only £75.

Here is a nice touch though. An example of how the community interest works. They have given us, and others, a set of vouchers so that we and our guests can get 20% off the chairlifts when we use the facilities.

That is the CIC working in practice. Good luck to you Andy, and your team. It is going great guns.
