Snow update 5 Feb

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

    Well there's gratitude for you. I go on holiday for a week and leave you with absolutely fantastic snow conditions and when I return all gone! I hope those of you who made it on the Saturday had a truly good time as I hear conditions were perfect. Sadly the fickle nature of our weather system meant that most of it had gone by the next day leaving only a few thin runs which were not very well joined up but still enjoyed by a few optimists who turned up just in case we skied.

    There has been snow today but this evening most of it seem to have melted. More is forecast overnight but it remains to be seen whether it arrives or not. It is currently looking very unlikely that we will ski tomorrow (Wednesday 6 Feb) but if you wake up and see snow when you open the curtains then try the answerphone after 8:30am for the latest information.

    I have been informed tonight of the sad news of the death of a former WSC Chairman, Ramsay Dryden, who many of you will remember. Ramsay has been ill for a while and I am sure you will all join me in passing on our condolences to all his family. Ramsay was very involved with the club in the 1980's and 1990's and his brother Richard informs me that he still wears his bright Blue and Red ski suit!
