The snowsports season has finally arrived in Scotland.
Conditions have finally allowed resorts across the country to start welcoming skiers and snowboarders.
Glencoe, Cairngorm, Nevis Range, the Lecht and Glenshee began welcoming snowsports enthusiasts across the weekend, with almost all of the centres opening in some form on Monday.
And more snowfall has given fresh hope of further days of fun on the slopes throughout the Christmas holidays.
Glencoe Mountain Resort was the most impressive with photos from the hills on Sunday morning showing a white-out and filled-up runs.
An update posted to the resort’s Facebook page on Monday read: “Starting to dry up a little now. We’ve gained snow on the upper mountain but lower mountain has seen a mix of snow, rain and sleet.
“Forecast for tomorrow looking a little cooler so expecting snow to below the top of the access chair.
“Skiing fast where plenty of skier traffic, a bit sticky off-piste. Sledging area nice and fast again.”
Views up the hill this morning 🙂

Glenshee was forced to close due to warm weather after one day of excellent snow cover on the slopes last Wednesday.
However enough man-made snow allowed staff to open the Plastic and Dink Dink runs at the weekend.
As of Monday morning the runs were once again beginning to fill in, with Glenshee workers hopeful of more snowsports in the coming days.
It’s snowing long may it continue
