Scotland's Glenshee ski area has announced it will open some runs from Monday, 11th December, following snowfall at the resort.
"We will need to move the snow around a bit to get some of the runs into condition but at the moment we aim to open our Plastic, Dink Dink and Rope tows tomorrow morning from 9.30am," the resort posted on its social media on Sunday afternoon, reporting temperatures of -7C, and adding, "With the forecast of continued minus temperatures and the chance of a bit more snow during the week we hope we can get a bit more open in the coming days and we will update this as things develop."
The latest snowfall has been heaviest on the Eastern side of the country but all five Highland areas also have all-weather snowmaking machines which have been working for some weeks.
Glencoe has already opened a run for snowmaking and The Lecht says it will open some beginner terrain and possibly more at the weekend.
Unofficial pictures from Cairngorm ski area above Aviemore appear show a lot of natural snowfall there but currently the centre is believed to be sticking to a projected season start date of Wednesday 21st December.
Nevis Range in the West above Fort William say they're aiming to open their gondola for the winter season on the 17th too.
