With day after day of blue skies and great snow cover, people are desperate to get resorts such as Glencoe Ski Centre back open again after the latest national lockdown and welcoming the return of snow sports enthusiasts.
Nevis Range says it is concerned that while there are Covid restrictions in place, the resort simply would not be able to trade in December and January without losing significant amounts of money, which would put jobs at risk.
The Fort William based mountain resort reopened earlier this month after the Covid-19 outbreak forced its closure over the past months.
Thermal screening, intensive cleaning and face coverings will be the order of the day when Nevis Range re-opens as coronavirus lockdown restrictions are eased.
Two volunteer events have been organised, a bike trail maintenance day and a ‘clear the hill’ litter picking weekend.
Three local community councils raised concerns around the proposed Forest Holidays development.
Hundreds of locals and visitors are expected to flock to The Nevis Range Mountain Experience, near Fort William,later this month to help celebrate its 30th anniversary celebrations.
Nevis Range Mountain Experience, just outside Fort William, has invested at least £1 million in its infrastructure for their ski and snowboard offering to snow sport enthusiasts ahead of the 2019/20 winter season.
