There was skiing today at Swinhope but conditions were not great. Apparently the tow lines have great compacted snow and the gullies are full of snow with some great skiing but the main runs have thin cover with bare patches. It was possible to ski from the top of F2 to the bottom of F1 but you had to chose your route well.
We are not planning to open on friday but hopefully will do so at the weekend if we get a top up of snow.
If anyone is after some cheap skis for use at Swinhope, Weardale House outdoor centre have about 60 sets of skis, boots etc for sale. See the message below. Please contact Simon directly and not me for further details.

I have around 60 sets of older child to adult sizes. Many are unused, the remainder are barely used.
I also have a whole raft of well used children's equipment that I'm looking to sell.
To give you an idea, I'm looking for £75 for a set of skis, boots, bindings and poles. The majority are Rossignol. My thought was that your members might be interested in a cheap set of skis to use in more marginal conditions to preserve their best equipment, or that you may have some beginners looking to get started.
The equipment is all at Weardale House in Ireshopeburn.
P.S. The reason for the sale? We simply aren't using them and I urgently need to purchase other equipment such as wetsuits, ropes and so on.
