Skiing this weekend

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

We had a great day today, especially the morning with beautiful weather and crisp fresh snow which although a bit thin in places was perfectly skiable. We had about 60 members today, several of them new members, and nearly everyone managed the road which was a bit tricky with sheet ice over large sections. Can I remind people to put chains on either at the bottom in the lay-by just before you turn up the road or at the top of the first long incline where you can pull in off the road and put the chains on. A couple of people blocked the road to put chains on today and once cars behind get stopped it can be tricky to get going again so please try and think of other road users.

Sadly it doesn't look as if we will get skiing tomorrow as the forecast is for milder temperatures, rain and stronger winds on Sunday but we will review the situation if the forecast changes.

Have a look on the WSC facebook site for a few photos from today.
