Snow Report Tuesday 7th December

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

For once it is all positives to write about. We had great snow today with 2 inches of fresh powder topping up the already firm base and the whole area is open. We had about 90 people today who enjoyed some glorious weather. Both lifts ran without a single interuption until Ian Mac commented that they hadn't stopped all day, so promptly both lifts tripped! The reason for tripping is when people let go of the buttons too late and there is not enough time for it to recoil and it trips the hill circuit. Please do not overrun the mounds of snow which mark the top of the lifts.

The road is still white with a few rutted areas but can be negotiated with 4WD or 2WD with chains. Do not attempt with 2WD and no chains as you are likely to get stuck. However it is nice to report no incidents on the road today. The parking was good, the ditches didn't see any cars close up and the farmer got on with his farming!

We are planning to open tomorrow (Wednesday) from 10am. Day members should download the application form from the website and present it with the day fee before skiing. Members should display their membership cards please to make life easier for the tow operators.

The lost house keys have also been re-united with their owner.
