Highlands set for summer skiing after record snowfall | The Times.
Thousands of skiers are expected to head to the Scottish Highlands this Easter weekend to take advantage of sunshine combined with lasting snowfields.
The normally patchy mush on the slopes in late spring has been replaced with metres of snow. Glencoe currently has an average of 6m-deep snow on its upper slopes and is expected to stay open into early summer.
SIX METERS deep? For those of you who have been taught new math and have no idea how to do conversions, that’s 6m * 3.28 feet/m = 19.68 feet! All I can say is it’s a good thing global warming is now referred to as “Climate Change.”
