Difficult to know which one to choose. I'll drop Lecht and Nevis as they're furthest from me. Cairngorm has the most snow but also seemingly the most ice. Glenshee has the most runs but also the most runs closed. Glencoe is the smallest but seems to be 100% open, including some unofficial runs.
Glencoe looks like it's getting the sun on Saturday so perhaps that's the one to go to.

Closest for me too (1.5 hours). Still undecided though.

Is there something I should know about Cumbrian ski centres?

Ski Centre is taking it a bit too far! There are a few lifts south of the border, although they don't get much use these days - although my mate was boarding deep snow in the NE a couple of years ago...

Is there some useful internet map of Scottish ski resorts, which has stuff like bus times and cost of hire/slopes etc. somewhere?
