Update Saturday1st - The rain from the west for Sunday is coming in quicker, so get out on the slopes Sunday morning if you are going, especially for Nevis and Glencoe. Do check the snow gates info first on Traffic Scotland, there is fresh snow up there!
Fri
Scottish Ski resorts still have plenty of snow but strong winds which have been causing problems during the past week. This weekend, there will be a lot of fine and sunny weather. Western Scotland could see some wintry showers but during the days there will be lighter winds for eastern resorts. Wet weather moves over Scotland each night and also later Sunday so this will bring fresh snow above 300m but rain lower down.
