The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Another good weekend and we must be heading for a record number of days skied in a season - certainly in the 23 years I have been a member of WSC - I am sure someone will tell me otherwise if that is not the case! There has been some fresh snowfall this afternoon and the weather is forecasting Monday and Tuesday to be sunny and cold which should make for excellent skiing.
We are planning to open on Monday at 9:30am and also Tuesday at about 10am. We will make an announcement on Tuesday about the rest of the week but do have tow operators available for Wednsday if conditions permit which looks likely.
We are allowing Day Members to ski midweek so you are welcome to join us but please complete the Day Membership form which is attached to the email or available on the website. This should be completed before arriving and handed to a tow operator with the correct fee BEFORE skiing please and preferably with the correct money (makes our life a lot easier). Can I also remind members to try and display their membership cards please.
Happy skiing

Snow report from Saturday 27th Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A fresh fall of 10cm provided some great skiing today though towards the end of the day the bottom of F1 was getting a bit heavy. Hopefully it will freeze again overnight and provide good conditions for tomorrow. We are planning to open tomorrow from about 10:30am for our 37th day of the season. We are also planning to open on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week weather permitting.
Please remember we are members only at the weekends but are happy to take day members for midweek skiing but only if you have completed a Day Membership form which can be downloaded from the website (www.skiweardale.com). Please hand this to a Tow Operator before skiing and please bring the correct day fee (£15 for an adult).
The road today had some fresh snow on it in the morning but was clear by afternoon and should be fine for tomorrow. There is however snow forecast tomorrow afternoon or evening so conditions could change.

Skiing this weekend 27th/28th Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
An inspection of the slopes this morning showed that quite a bit of snow had gone with the recent milder weather and the remaining snow was fairly wet. However since then there has been further snowfall and the webcam this afternoon showed an improvement in the cover.
We are planning to open both days this weekend from about 10:30am but cannot at this time predict how good it will be nor what the road will be like. The road was down to tarmac recently but clearly with the new snow this may have changed so please bring a shovel and pack your chains just in case.
Please remember weekends are Members Only so can I remind all members to show their cards and if possible display them outside your clothing to make life easier for the Tow Operators.

snow report tuesday 23rd Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Yet another glorious day today with about 80 - 100 people skiing + boarding in fantastic conditions. The snow seems to be lasting for ever and with temperatures rarely above zero the whole area remains skiable with a great base. There is heavy snow forecast tomorrow and also snow on Thursday and Friday so it looks like we won't be opening again until the weekend. However if conditions change and we decide to open I will send out another email. Many years ago some of the founder members skied on midsummers day (albeit a very short run of 13 turns if memory serves me) - lets see if we can beat that this year and ski into July!
We have opened again to Day Members for midweek (Monday to Friday) but weekends remain Members Only. We have a new system being trialed which makes life a lot easier for Tow Operators. This entails you having to print off a Day Membership Form from the website (www.skiweardale.com) and present this to a Tow Operator with the correct money BEFORE skiing. Please bring the correct money which makes life a lot easier (or alternatively you can donate the rest of that crisp £20 note to WSC!!).

Snow Report Sunday 21st Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A great weekend skiing was had by all with superb weather on Saturday with great snow cover. Today saw 2-3 inches of fresh powder but poor visibility and at times rather flat light but fantastic snow conditions. Everywhere is covered with a firm base and several cm of powder and it has been snowing all day lightly. The forecast is good for the next 2 days so we plan to open Monday and Tuesday from about 10:30am. If conditions change the answerphone will be updated (01388 527527).
The road was clear this morning but had a covering of snow by afternoon and was a bit slippery so please drive carefully, bring chains if you have them and a shovel.
We have had a chance to recover from the manic start to the season and the WSC Board have agreed to open to day members again for weekday skiing only. We wll review this policy in a few weeks and retain the option to close it again if we become too busy. I know this has upset a few people but we are a private club and have to look after our members interests first and foremost. To make life easier for Tow Operators, day members must print off an application form (attached to this email) or available from the website (www.skiweardale.com) and complete it beforehand. When you arrive at the slopes hand it to a Tow Operator with the correct money please BEFORE skiing. I apologise for some of the information requested (ie gender and ethnicity) but these are a requirement for our insurance through SnowSport England.
Can I remind members to display their cards please which again makes life easier for the tow operators - thanks.
Enjoy

Snow report from Saturday 20th Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Things just seem to get better each day and I am running out of superlatives. Today saw wall to wall sunshine, fantastic snow cover with an inch or 2 of powder on a firm base making superb skiing conditions. Everywhere is still skiable and I must have skied a dozen routes today that I have never skied before. There was no wind, the sundeck was crowded at lunchtime and everyone seemed to have a great day - approximately 100 people turned up and lift queues were virtually non existant.
We are planning to open tomorrow from 10-10:30 am
Please note we are only open to members. We will be asking people to display their cards again and if you do not wear them on the outside we will ask you to carry a marker of sorts that you are a member.No membership card = no ski.
The road was clear when we left tonight but has a tendency to ice up overnight but should be ok with a little care. You will need a shovel in case you have to dig in to park.

Skiing this weekend 20th/21st Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Apparently another fantastic day today with conditions that would have graced Courcheval. Looks good for the weekend and the road is pretty clear apart from a small patch of ice. There is the possibility of light snow overnight but nothing heavy forecast.
We are planning to open saturday and sunday from 10am.
Please note we are open to members only and can I ask members to display their cards as the tow operators will be checking throughout the day
We are expecting a busy day so there may be lift queues and parking will be limited. Please try and park as close as safely possible to the other cards and at a 45 degree angle to the fence. If there are no spaces left then dig in well off the road using the shovel that you remembered to pack! Please do not block any gates, especiallly the emergency access gate at the car park.

snow report Tuesday 16th Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A fantastic days skiing was had today with 2" fresh powder on a firm base - one of the best days of the season so far. All the gullies were skiable, Black Scar was skiable and over to the west there were large bowls of powder snow with all the streams filled in (as far as I could tell!!!). There was no wind, no queues, good visibility and the temperature didn't get above zero degrees all day. The forecast is for much of the same for the rest of the week so the snow should last until the weekend at least. The other good news is that the road is clear! There was some ice first thing this morning on the road which had gone by midday but could return overnight so take care and still bring a shovel just in case. We are planning to open tomorrow (Wednesday) from 10:30am and hope to open Thursday and possibly Friday this week.
We are still open only to members but the board are considering opening again to day members very soon and this will be announced via the website, the answerphone and also this email.

Those romantics amongst you who heeded my advice and took your loved ones up to Swinhope on Sunday were treated to a glorious day with better than expected snow conditions. As it is halfterm we will try and open up for several days this week if the weather permits but please check the answerphone for any updates. We are planning to open tomorrow (Tuesday) from 10:30am and hope to also open Wednesday but that depends on what conditions are like. The road was clear this morning with tarmac all the way up to the parking but as many of you know conditions can change quickly though forecasts are not predicting significant snowfall.

Another good day at Yad Moss today with 40 or 50 people turning up. An inspection at Swinhope showed increased cover but not quite enough to ski on. The snow that has lain for a while is very hard and icy and the new snow cover is thin. More snow is forecast throughout this week but there are no plans to open tomorrow. Not sure if we will open before the weekend but I will email out if there is sufficient snow to open. Yad Moss are also not opening again until Saturday.

snow report Monday 8th Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
We have snow again and the forecast is for cooler temperatures in the next few days. Those of you following the webcam will see we have pretty good cover again so we may well be opening again soon if we get a bit more. There are no plans to open tomorrow but perhaps wednesday.
For those of you interested Yad Moss and Harwood have both got excellent snow cover and have been enjoying alpine conditions recently. I was at Yad Moss yesterday and the snow was great with virtually no queues. We have a reciprocal agreement with Yad Moss that if you show your WSC card you can ski for £10 a day but remember to turn up before 11:30 am - they may refuse you after that if they are busy. They are planning to open tomorrow (wednesday) - http://www.yadmoss.co.uk/ and I for one hope to be there.
I have also been emailed by Harwood - about a couple of miles away, who similarly have great snow cover and would welcome WSC members and are offering a 20% discount on production of a WSC card (it is only £10 a day anyway so you cannot grumble!). Not sure whether they plan to open midweek but their website is http://harwoodski.webs.com/
Yad Moss have a single drag lift but it is just over 600m long. They point out that the tow is not suitable for beginner snowboarders but it is a lot easier than ours so if you can manage WSC lift you can manage Yad Moss! Their slopes are very well groomed and very wide - less demanding than ours and less variety but very skiable and great fun. I have never been to Harwood but am told they have a rope tow and currently some great snow and I hope to get over there sometime soon.
Hopefully we will open soon but if you are getting withdrawel symptoms then why not give them a try.

We did open for skiing today but conditions were not great. There was a thin covering of snow over hard packed snow/ice and a decision has been made not to run tomorrow. There is snow falling as I write this email so if the conditions improve the answerphone message will be updated. Hopefully enough snow will fall for skiing this weekend - positive thought is all that's needed!!

Snow Report Tuesday 2nd Feb
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
No sooner do I say the snow has gone when lo + behold back it comes. There has been some fresh snow on Swinhope and whilst not a great deal there is still a lot up there and the plans are to open for skiing tomorrow (Wednesday 3rd Feb). The last inspection at the weekend showed a lot of snow especially on F2 but it was patchy and quite icy but the gully was in great condition. The slightly milder temperatures and fresh snowfall will have improved conditions but they still may be not great. We are planning to open tomorrow from 10am but please note there is snow forecast in the afternoon so there may be an early finish if conditions deteriorate.
To my knowledge the road is clear but please always pack a shovel just in case and wise to have chains handy in the event that the road conditions deteriorate.
Please note we are only open to members and are not accepting day members at the moment and membership is full.

Snow report + ski offers
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Well what a shame we missed out on the snow this weekend. Nothing fell in Weardale yet out on the coast there was 3 to 4 inches. Still there is more forecast mid week so fingers crossed. As you can see from the webcam there is still plenty there though very patchy but an excellent base for when more comes.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who sent photos for the Newsletter that should be coming back from the printers in the next few days and winging its way through the post to all members. There were some superb photos and many lovely action shots that would grace any ski magazine. We were however looking for photos that demonstrated Weardale skiing and have chosen several that give a true feel for WSC. Sorry if your photo was not included this time but may appear in future newsletters and again thanks to all for your contributions. If you have a good photo you are happy to share with us then please keep sending them in - we can use them on the website and have a good archive of photos over the years to which we keep adding more to.
If you are thinking about buying some new skis then Anthony Reynolds from Reynolds Outdoor Centre, Sunderland - www.reynoldsoutdoorcentre.co.uk - has some great offers on Salomon skis below - hurry before they have gone - I have just bought myself some Streetracers complete with bindings for £99 brand new
All kitted up now, just have to wait for the next lot of the white stuff to fall.
