As Scotland shivers through the coldest spell of the winter, it’s not all closed schools and dicey road conditions.
Skiers and snowboarders have been having a (snow)ball and the slopes at Glenshee and Lecht were packed with thrill-seekers on Thursday.
Our photographers joined the crowds to grab a slice of the action.
Here are some of the best pictures from the day.
