Skiing in jock land

Sorry to tell you all that Glencoe closed in 2003 due to lack of snow and would not be reopening.
I read it in the Guardian.
No more snow, in Glencoe

I remember that too. Was caused by global warming apparently (according to the BBC).

Seemed ok on the three occasions I was there last year though.

Yep, it's sad but true.

Fly to inverness from London easy enough.

And then onto Geneva which is pretty close to the Alps: Geneva | Destinations | Inverness Airport

Good point. Fly to inverness and hire car. Thirty miles to Aviemore for the Cairngorms.

It's a dry slope

Not when it's covered in snow, it isn't.

Snow looks great, what's the easiest resort you can fly to from London, then get a train/taxi/car/bus to ? Or are they all in middle of nowhere ?

No alcohol? I'd give it a miss then.

Aviemore (cairngorms) roughly 2.5 hours from Glasgow by car, Glencoe about 2 hours, Glenshee (prob the best if it is skiing well) roughly 2.5 hours by car. The lecht is well worth avoiding for access and skiing being generally tulipe and I've never done Aonach Mor so don't know if it's any good.

Skiiing in Scotland:

If it has snowed you can't get there due to snow causing the roads to be closed.
If it hasn't snowed there's no skiiing due to lack of snow.

It's the British way of doing things.
