Snow Update Friday 8 Feb

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

3 Tow operators attended today to do some pisting and flatten the tow lines which had significant drifting on them. Conditions were better than expected with some fresh snow cover but also some bare or thin patches on F1. F2 had better cover with the M1 having a good base and the gullies well filled with cornices and big drifts. Skiing is likely tomorrow but it is probably only going to be suitable for experienced skiers and we think the cover on F1 may wear thin pretty quickly. If you are a beginner or only tend to ski the lower slopes tomorrow is probably not a good day for you. Boarders should have fun in the gullies. More snow is forecast on Sunday + Monday so is looking good for next week

Please ring the answerphone (01388 527527) tomorrow before setting off to avoid disappointment. Members only tomorrow so please bring your membership cards and show them to an operator.

Yad Moss are opening tomorrow and have similar, perhaps slightly better cover, and members of WSC can ski there at a discounted rate of £10 on production of a membership card but they are not taking day members. Raise is also open but again do not accept day members.

Will update Saturday night about conditions and whether we open on Sunday
