    Maybe, but 4 years ago Scotland had a good steady season, with skiing and boarding through to April and good snow.
    3 years ago they had a good season, with big dumps, but mild spells in between, but still managed to April on good snow.
    Last season, not the season just past, they had an off on season, but with early snow falls and late snow falls, we still had some really good days.
    The season just past, was one of the best on record, we had a longer season than everybody in the north, the Cairngorm was open in Nov and we were still on the hill playing on good snow in mid June and we had a good few days where there was to much snow to even open and we had to dig the train and lifts out of the drift.
    I came over for the games in Vancouver and made a trip out to Fernie for a couple of days on the snow and when I was in Fernie at the end of Feb, Scotland had all 5 resorts in the top ten in the world, 3 of them inside the top 5.
    Ever one of these resorts are under 4000 feet and already for this season coming, we have had frosts and some snow fall already on the Cairngorm.
    (my point with the above info, is Scotland has been good and getting better over the last couple of years, so I really hope this info is wrong, or my grandkids are so gonna miss out)
    Do we think this maybe the change us Scots have been waiting for, while your snow falls get smaller and your temps rise, Scotland gets colder and with bigger dumps, lol, how very strange would that be,lol.
    I think last year, Scotland had more snow than Fernie, has that ever happened before? lol
