Glencoe is Scotland's original resort and has a relatively antiquated and limited lift system but offers interesting terrain including lots of natural hits and bumps, as well as Scotland's steepest run, the "FlyPaper." Glencoe is located about 90 minutes drive north of Glasgow, just off the A82 main road to Fort William as it crosses Rannoch Moor. On a good day, the views across the moor and over the Glencoe hills and the other mountains of west/central Scotland are glorious. On a bad day it will be windy, grey, cold and generally desolate. But you can still have plenty of fun.

A chairlift from the car park provides access to a plateau where there is plenty of space for beginners to practice. From there another chair and T-bar takes you to the middle area, from where you can access the centre gully ("Canyon") which can be good as can "The Wall" to the right of the basin (looking up hill). At the bottom of the Canyon is the tastefully named "Bum Hole," a deep gully which generally has a couple of decent hits built up at the end of it, so you can show off to the captive audience cruising by on the chairlift - or fall on your arse and get laughed at...

There are parallel T-bar and button tows above which provide access to the Main Basin, Happy Valley and Etive Glades which are entertaining runs to bomb down, and from the top of the tows you can also head along the summit ridge to access the Rannoch Glades, Spring Run and FlyPaper runs. These are steep and not for the faint hearted especially if the snow is hard but they can be a blast. The FlyPaper is often closed if it's icy ordue to avalanche risk if there's been a decent amount of fresh snow. All in all, although small, Glencoe has a great range of variety and can provide a great day out.
