Thinking about Glenshee for Easter, what is the snow record for Glenshee around mid April?

I usually make a decision the night before traveling up there. It can be a hit or a miss to be honest.

In the 70s I did spend 4 or 5 Easters, and 2 Whitsuns in Cairngorm. I know that is not Glenshee, but it is an indicator. Sadly the Iglu snow history does not cover Scotland.
If there is sufficient snow cover, it will be seriously mobbed.

Do not waste time and money at Glenshee. Serious lack of investment in equipment over the years has left it in a sorry state, and there are huge queues if conditions are good.
If determined to go, check forecast carefully - do not go in winds over 25mph for instance.
And go very early - on good days they shut the car parks by 09.30.

That is a wee bit harsh on Glenshee. It is true about the investment, since we have not had the snow stability in some years. Queuewise, it is better to go mid-week and avoid the weekend queues. Right about the winds, especially in low temps ~ that is true for all the Scottish Ski resorts.
Not true about always closing the car parks~ I have parked there at all times, good days and bad. You must have had some bad experiences, CBM! I take it you are not the same Big Mags that was in the papers several years ago for running a drugs centre in the West of Scotland? - )
