I have a real soft spot for Glencoe. I just had a look, spring run is open, so you could lap that, then it's two T bars back up, a wee traverse across and then down again. If conditions okay you can come off the piste and get some nice stuff there. The jewel in the crown is the flypaper, had a look to see it it's opening but webpage wasn't opening properly.
The run right down to the car park is open, but the last 20 metres will be mud. So you could actually ski from the top right down, which is a pretty long run actually. The chair back up is fairly slow, shall we say.
But if the back corries are going to be decent, then nothing else in scotland beats them. It's proper off piste skiing, drop in, steep, incredible scenery. Not sure you'll get the conditions though as weather looks patchy? Maybe make a call on the way up, check the twitter and winter highland, then decide. If you don't go into the corries, then I'm not sure what nevis offers that glencoe doesn't, and in fact glencoe has far better skiing (the reds + flypaper), but if weather ok and going to the corries then it's another level. A wee google image search will give you the idea but this is helpful: https://twitter.com/TheNevisRange/status/696752793806364673
