Snow Permitting, the Scottish resort will open for weekends this winter

Glenshee Chairlift Company have announced they have overturned their
decision last month to ’mothball’ Glencoe ski centre this winter and
have decided that their ski centre at Glencoe will now open for weekend
skiing as soon as suitable snow conditions prevail.

"This commitment to open at weekends has been made possible due to the
outstanding public support we have received from the local community and
the Scottish skiing public at large since the recent announcement to
mothball the centre." said Executive Chairman Hamish Somerville.

"In particular Glenshee Chairlift Company would like to thank the
Glencoe staff, Glencoe ski patrollers and the Glencoe Ski Club
coordinated as a group by Bobby Williamson. Without their commitment and
goodwill even this limited opening may not have been possible." Mr
Somerville continued.

Glencoe Ski Centre has received support from Lochaber Enterprise and The
Highland Council. Discussions continue with these bodies and other
interested parties through which the company hope to create a framework
that will ensure the long term well being of Scotland’s oldest ski
centre.

Glencoe Ski Centre season tickets are now available for £180 and due to
the limited operation of the centre the ticket will also be valid at
Glenshee Ski Centre.
