Skiing Wednesday 20th Jan

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

The snow may have gone where you live but there still seems plenty of it up on Swinhope Moor. When last viewed there were a few small bare areas developing but these were easy to avoid and there are still huge drifts lying around that we may be able to utilise with the Piste Basher. The gully is in the best condition for many years and Black Scar saw plenty of action at the weekend. We are planning to open for skiing tomorrow from about 10:30am. The road when last seen was clear tarmac but conditions can vary very quickly as we have already seen several times this year. If you are travelling in a 2WD car it is adviseable to carry chains with you in case conditions deteriorate and always remember that shovel if you need to dig in.

There may be some maintenance work tomorrow on the lifts which may result in a few short stoppages but these will be minimised. Please remember that we are still allowing only existing members and no day members are currently being allowed.

We are about to produce the WSC Newsletter and are looking for a few photos that show the ski area being used so if any of you have any nice photos you are prepared to let us use then please email them to me.
