Glencoe Ski Resort is to be mothballed as a result of the lack of snow
in recent winters.

(the BBC Scotland reporter, reporting from Glencoe stated it was
snowing as he spoke!)

Back in the 1970s and 1980s Dufton Youth Hostel (Just north of Appleby) used
to have Ski equipment and ran succesful skiing weekends and courses
