Snow update Mon 18 March

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

We did ski today and there is plenty of snow but today it was very wet and weather conditions today were not good. There are mixed reports for tomorrow so we intend to open (from 10am) but may close early (1pm'ish)  if conditions are not favourable and aim to do a lot of pisting to prepare the slopes for Wednesday and Thursday when conditions are predicted to be better. There were some problems today getting the lifts de-iced and running and we pass on our apologies to the air who turned up when F1 was not running and left without skiing. It won't help to tell you F1 was fixed shortly after! There were also issues with F2 I believe but we should hopefully resolve that tomorrow.

In summary, turn up tomorrow if you wish but please do not turn up late as we may close early depending on conditions. Wednesday and Thursday do look better bets!

ps - thanks to those who commented on my last email. Plans for a chairlift are fictional only and not a realistic plan though I did get an email from Gearge Proud, one of our earlier members, who tells me that in the early days of WSC one committee member drew up plans for a chairlift from the village of Westgate all the way to the slopes. Now that really would solve all the issues concerning the road up and the parking! Needless to say the plans never got beyond the planning stage so don't get too excited.
