Glencoe is an awesome resort with the best on / off piste skiing in Scotland. It has both the longest & steepest pisted slopes in the UK.

I can get there in just over 1 hour from Glasgow (1 hour & 7 minutes).

I have skied there for may years. In the 1990's the top tows were buried (I even skied over the top of the pylons). However, that was nothing compared to the amount of snow in the 2014 season. The extended pylons were once again buried. The guys, at Glencoe, worked very hard and it felt like you were going through a tunnel due to the depth of snow at the sides of the tow tracks; both upper & lower T-bar's.

There is also an awesome All Mountain Freeride Ski Club (GSC), on the mountain, who provide continuous development to trainees, as well as WSRT that provide advanced race training.
