Nevis Range Nevis Range plans to open for skiing and snowboarding this weekend, earlier than planned, due to the recent significant snowfall.
The resort is currently amidst its annual maintenance period, but will pull out all the stops to open at the weekend. Work undertaken this year includes building 1200 metres of new fencing, much of it new 'rail style' fencing, as well as maintaining the chairs and lifts on the pistes and replacing the bearings on seveal lifts.
Just days ago, and in time for the weekend opening, the resort welcomed its new piste-groomer machine 'Polar' to the resort amidst blizzard conditions in its car park. The Pinemarten cafe bar, which was a building site during the previous winter, will now be open late at weekends and holidays for traditional apres ski.
The resort is also developing workshops in its Back Corrie area and is building a Tranceiver Park which will open this winter season.

Comments
We've heard reports that Scottish resorts may not be opening due to damage from high winds and strongly advise calling the resort first to check that they are open.
