snow report Monday 29th November

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Further fresh snow improved conditions today and approximately 40 people enjoyed our 3rd day of the season so far. There has been heavy snow tonight but also strong winds are forecast tomorrow so a decision whether to open or not will be made in the morning. The answerphone will be updated before 9am tomorrow. If not tomorrow, hopefully we will be opening on Wednesday. Please note that the road is tricky and 4WD or chains are currently essential (or sometimes both). Don't forget the shovel either.

We have had a few incidents recently on the roads involving local residents. In one incident somebody was involved in a minor accident with the house at the very bottom of the road to the slopes at the foot of the very steep bank. In another incident a female resident was driven off the road by a skier not taking enough care and ended up in a ditch and the local farmer's wife was nearly driven off the road on Sunday by a silver estate. Fortunately nobody has been injured in any of these but please can I ask everyone to drive with the utmost care and respect the local population who travel these roads daily.
