MORE than 140,000 skiers and snowboarders have taken to Scotland's outdoor slopes so far this winter, making it one of the best seasons in the past decade.
Ski-Scotland said that after a dip in numbers last year, the country's five mountain snowsport centres are on course to meet the 2010-11 season's numbers, which finished with around 289,000 visitors.
But this year's figure is still falling short of the 2009-10 total, when almost 375,000 skiers and snowboarders went on the mountains.
