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.
