Skiing this weekend

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

The snow has returned at long last and has fallen on top of a hard base. We have had several cms of fresh snow today and more is predicted overnight. We are planning to ski this weekend and tow(s) should open from 10am tomorrow (Saturday 8th Jan). Currently only F1 is working as we have an electrical fault on F2. We hope that this will be fixed tomorrow but there is no guarantee so come prepared to ski F1 only. We will update the answerphone on Saturday night reporting on conditions and whether F2 is operating. Please note that we are open STRICTLY TO MEMBERS ONLY at weekends.

The road is very icy with currently a thin covering of snow on and is likely to be very tricky tomorrow so 4WD or Chains will be ESSENTIAL. Please put chains on at the layby before turning up towards the slopes and don't obstruct the road either at the bottom or when parking in the car park.

"Sadly" I am being taken away to Les Arcs tomorrow so will miss all the fun and will be unable to send out further emails until I return.

Happy skiing.
