70cm of Snow in 72 Hours on Scottish Ski Slopes

Conditions on Scottish ski slopes are expected to be amongst the best they've been for several years this week at several of the country's ski centres following significant snowfalls over the past 72 hours.
The five Highland ski centres have enjoyed consistent low temperatures over the past few weeks and had limited terrain open but will now be able to open most or almost more of their slopes.
"60 or 70cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 72 hours meaning that all runs on the mountain now have a great cover of windblown fresh snow. This should provide some amazing skiing tomorrow from the summit all the way to the car park," said a spokesperson for Glencoe (Pictured above) adding, "All lifts can now run if needed and the weather tomorrow is looking pretty good with light to moderate westerly winds and some light snow showers forecast."
Cairngorm reported 34cm of fresh snow in 24 hours whilst Glenshee aid runs were filling in with fresh snow nicely.
The best of the snowfall has however been on the Western side of Scotland with Glencoe and Nevis Range looking particularly good. Glenshee and The Lecht have not had so much snow.
