Ski report wed 12 Feb

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

About 20 members enjoyed good snow today until winds and heavy snow brought skiing to a close at lunchtime. Visiblity was poor higher up but there was good cover. When we left it was snowing hard and drifting but back in Stanhope it was raining and the snow was disappearing quickly. There are very strong winds forecast on Thursday so we wont be opening then but there is a possibility of skiing on Friday and we will keep you posted. At the moment the weekend also looks good, Sunday appearing to be the best of the 2 days but the weather forecasters seem to change their minds on a daily basis so keeping looking at the webcams and ringing the answerphone.

I hope some of you saw WSC on BBC Look North last week. Paul Mooney and crew came up to the club to do some filming (when there was very little snow!) and a few of our members went up and were interviewed (and froze to death) and also judged the photograph of the month competition. 

Tickets for the 50th anniversary meal are selling fast so any member who is interested should get their forms completed and returned soon. We will be opening up to non members soon and I expect us to sell out before the event, especially as you youngsters now know who Graham Bell is after seeing him presenting at the winter olympics!

Finally http://reynoldsoutdoorcentre.co.uk/ in Sunderland have got some skis for sale - see below - so if you want a cheap new pair of skis have a look. 

Boarders don't forget that our sponsors this year, The Chaos, in Darlington always have good offers on for boards and clothing, up to 70% off some items.
