A section of the A93 Aberdeen to Perth road has reopened after heavy snow showers battered the area.
Police shut the snow gates between Braemar and Spittal of Glenshee shortly after 5.30pm yesterday due to adverse weather.
The road leads to the Glenshee Ski Centre, where staff are busy preparing to open for another busy day.
The gates were reopened around 10am, meaning keen snow sport enthusiasts are able to enjoy the slopes this morning.
A post on the ski centre’s Facebook read: “Still a bit windy on the tops here, and sitting around 20pmh at base station but it has dropped as daylight comes in and is forecast to drop further as the morning progresses.
“Looks like there will be good visibility and a bit of sunshine as well. At the moment we have hopes to open Claybokie, Plastic, Dink Dink and Rope Tow first thing and hopefully Butcharts Access if the wind drops further.
“The wind has moved the snow about overnight and hill teams are assessing this at the moment in the hope, weather permitting, we can open further.”
Further snow showers are due to hit parts of the Highlands and Islands, Moray, and Aberdeenshire this week.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice will come into effect from 5pm tomorrow until Wednesday.
