Has the climate crisis and the higher temperatures affected snow conditions in Glencoe Mountain?
Look at the statistics and graph of historical snow depths for the ski resort.
For the last 5 years, week 9 has been the most insecure with 157 cm snow depth on average in Glencoe Mountain.
The measurement is made as an average of the snow depth at the highest and lowest point of the mountain.

Glencoe’s seven lifts and 20km of runs lie east of moody Glen Coe itself. We get a steady dribble of reports from experienced reporters impressed by the whole deal – ‘A truly wonderful experience,’ says one. A double chairlift and a drag go up to the main slopes, including the nursery area. The black Flypaper is ‘seriously steep’. The cafe at the base serves ‘traditional hearty fare’. The isolated Kings House Hotel is 2km away. The ski area will open a new chairlift for 2017, called the Rannoch Chair. This will run parallel to the Plateau Poma, providing direct access to the Low Road run. There’s a new green run that starts at the top of the Rannoch Chair, called Rankins Return, which takes you further out to skier’s right. The Rannoch Chair will also provide direct access to the blue car park run for when conditions allow you to ski back down.
