As I always say. If you haven't skied in Scotland you haven't skied.
Change of clothes in the car at lunch time.
Emptying the water out of your boots at the same time.
Swap wet socks for dry socks then put your feet into a plastic bag before
inserting into wet boots.
Heather hopping in the fog.
Choking on the diesel fumes at the car park.
Climbing up hills when lifts close as the snow runs out during the day.
Not knowing if down is up as the howling gale blows you back up hill in a
blizzard.

I almost forgot....
some of the best memories of skiing I've ever had.

You forgot skiing in +20DegC, T shirt, and blue skies at 1pm, -5DegC and
blizzrard at 3pm!

Yes the weather can change.
On one of the first red nose days back in 1980something we skied in T-shirts
and red noses. (Ski pants as well). Fantastic days skiing.
I should also mention the golf, beer and whiskey.

Yes, that can happen. Was it end Feb/early March last year? Some cracking
skiing in Glenshee anyway, even if the runs back to the car park were
mainly heather.

No - it was the best part of 10 years ago (ah, memories!).

The good news is, it's for a cold winter.
The bad news is, it's also for a dry one.
