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.
