But - back on thread - snow-forecast.com's history for Glenshee shoes no snow, and no lifts open for 19th April right back to 2001.
Cairngorm showing a few lifts open most years, sometimes with runs to resort open but generally higher lifts only.

No, I am not now or have ever been involved in drug selling. I do have evidence of car park closure and Glenshee is a run down ski area. I live in NE Scotland and can get there in an hour, but choose not to. Many people do go there....they just choose to put up with crap facilities. Up to you whether you want to do that...or ski in a place where lifts work, there are plenty nice stopping places for loos and food near the slopes (not just one rubbish cafe at base and one squalid hut on the hill), and where the snow covers the ground. Skiing on rocks and heather is not my idea of fun. Yes, they had good snow last year....but the facilities are just too basic.

I can meet you with these comments. There is a lack of investment in most Scottish areas. I would like to see snow making on the runs ~ but it isn't going to happen, mainly because of the green lobby, but also be cause of the lack of serious investment. It would mean creating a dam, burying pipes underground, and having the pump bases on view, all the year round.
Until that happens, all the Scottish ski areas will be dominated by weekend only activity.

I have given up on Scotland, whenever I go it is either closed due to wind or the roads are close due to snow.
