There has been a little extra snowfall which has freshened up the slopes and we are currently planning to open up on Wednesday from 10am. The cover looks better than on Sunday when we opened for a few hours but is still fairly thin but hopefully will prove sufficient. Please however check the answerphoone before travelling (01388 527527).
Presently the road is clear so chains etc will probably not be needed unless there is significant snowfall but still come prepared as conditions can change quickly and remember the shovel just in case.
Hope you get some skiing.

Skiing Sunday 29th
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
We have had a fell inspection today and have decided to open up for skiing. There is a covering of 2-3" but no hard base so it will be thin in places and may not last all day. We plan to open from 10am and will probably close at 2pm or earlier if the snow is not very good so do not turn up late.
The road this afternoon was clear so if there is no more snow overnight chains will not be needed.
The forecast is for a prolonged cold spell so hopefully we will get more skiing in February.

possible skiing this wekend
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
What a poor start to 2012! We have had some snow recently but not really enough to ski on but there has been more today and there is a faint possibility of skiing this weekend but it all depends on whether there is more snow overnight and on the temperature. More snow is predicted on sunday so collectively if we all cross our fingers then we may get some skiing! The answerphone will be updated in the morning as soon as we see the state of the snow - please check it before travelling to avoid disappointment.
I have heard that February is predicted to be colder than usual so hopefully we will get more opportunities in the next few weeks but I still recommend taking whatever opportunities you get - if you wait for better snow then sometimes it never comes! Despite a pretty poor season we have managed to open so far on 8 days when there hasnt appeared to be a lot of snow but conditions have been ok.

Lack of snow!
The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you all had a great time despite the lack of snow activities! It is unbelievably mild at the moment but the forecast is for colder weather in a few days time so hopefully that will improve the chance of snow. We have managed 8 days so far this season of varied quality so it is not all doom + gloom.
I have been contacted by Jennifer Phillips, a Tourism Management undergraduate from the University of Plymouth who is currently undertaking research for a dissertation project, studying the British winter sports market. She is seeking the views of bristish skiers and boarders and asks if some of you would like to enter her survey. It is totally anonymous but you can leave your contact details if you wish to be contacted. I have just completed it and it took 2 minutes so if you can spare the time please try and help her.The link is below

Hopefully won't be too long before we get going again.
