Flocked to slopes

Scottish ski industry said the snow and sub-zero temperatures had helped it experience its best start to the season for years.

Thousands of skiers and snowboarders have flocked to the slopes at Cairngorm, Glenshee and the Lecht, and the operators of the Nevis Range centre near Fort William said conditions could not get much better.

The Glencoe ski area was open for business for the first time since the centre closed earlier this year amid fears about its future.

Forecasters have predicted that the cold snap will continue for the next few days, with the possibility of more snow in some areas.
