Sadly the skiing did not live up to expectations today as a lot of the snow had blown off leaving thin areas which soon disappeared once the weather warmed up a little. This unfortunately means no skiing tomorrow unless we have further snow, which is not currently predicted. The snow can be pretty fickle this time of year and unless it comes in on a favourable wind a lot of it can get blown off despite our snow fencing if the wind direction is not right. Yad Moss has fared better and they are planning to open tomorrow if anyone fancies a trip - please check their website or answerphone before travelling though.
Happy Easter to everyone.

Skiing Wednesday 4 April
The Weardale Ski Cub Ltd
Well well, who expected snow in April after the glorious weather in March. Good old British weather. There is currently 5" of fresh snow in Stanhope and it is still falling and predicted to carry on through the night. We are planning to open tomorrow for some Spring skiing if you haven't packed away your skis and boards yet. If you have them packed away then get up in the loft and unpack them! We have no idea what it will be like as the ground is not exactly frozen but conditions could be very good, especially if the temperature drops overnight. The webcam has been turned back on and the answerphone will be updated in the morning. The current plan is to open at 9am tomorrow. The road status is unknown and chains may be required so please come prepared and if in doubt do not try and get up with 2WD and no chains (someone will always give you a lift if you park at the layby and hitch). Don't forget the shovel and park clear off the road and close to the fence at a 45 degree angle.
There is the possibility of skiing on Thursday also but we will update after tomorrow both by email and the answerphone (01388 527527).
We will be open to day members tomorrow - please download the form from the website and complete before travelling.
Happy Skiing
