The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
About 50 people enjoyed a day skiing on Swinhope Moor today and enjoyed good weather though the snow was not as good as expected. F1 was ski-able but F2 was fairly thin with a lot of stones showing through on the M1 run. The temperatures however have plummeted and are below -3 in Stanhope and forecast to fall much lower overnight which should make the runs faster than today and hopefully will improve conditions. We are planning to open tomorrow Wednesday 16 January from 10am but may close early depending on conditions. This time of year we do tend to start shutting down around 3pm so that we can clear the fell before darkness falls, tomorrow may well be earlier so do not turn up at 2pm!
One member today took his dog onto the fells with him which is against the agreement we have with the landowners who specifically have banned all dogs. Please will you all adhere to this rule otherwise we run the risk of losing the excellent relationship we have with our landlords and possible putting our lease at risk.
We will accept day members tomorrow but as previously stated please print off the day membership form from the membership page of the website and complete it before travelling and bring along the correct money. Please do not ski until you have seen one of the tow operators (we stand out in bright orange jackets!).
On a positive note, heavy snow is forecast on thursday night and all day friday with dry weather over the weekend which is looking very promising indeed
