Glencoe is less than an hour's drive from both Oban and Fort William, two of the centres on our Rural program.

A snowsports centre in Scotland has been described as having the "best powder snow on the planet".

The conditions at Glencoe Mountain Resort, which are highly sought after by skiers and snowboarders, followed heavy snowfalls over the last few days.  Snowaction magazine has rated the centre as having the best powder snow of any of the world's ski resorts at the moment.

A spokesperson for Glencoe Mountain said: "Conditions for this time of year are truly exceptional.
The conditions are more like what you would expect on a midwinter.  Normally by the May weekend we are skiing on large patches of snow."
