Skiing Friday 30 January

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

There has been significant snowfall in Weardale but accompanied by fairly brisk winds causing a lot of drifting. However the good news is that the snowplough has cleared the road making it passable with chains currently so we are planning to open on Friday if conditions don't deteriorate overnight. There is not much fresh snow predicted but strong winds can easily block the road as 2 cars found out today - a Range-rover and a Discovery got stuck today and took a lot of extracting apparently.

Tow operators will be going up in the morning so please do not arrive before 9:30am and suggest check the answer phone before travelling. 

4wd or chains essential tomorrow and remember to pack a shovel, blankets, food and drink and keep an eye on the weather situation. Drive straight forward at a 45 degree angle into parking rather than trying to reverse in. Day members welcome Friday as long as you download the form and complete it and hand it to a tow operator before skiing. Ignoring this might mean forfeiting the right to ski.

The internet has been down in Weardale for the last couple of days and the webcams are not working so apologies for lack of communication. The Yad Moss webcams are working so you can get an idea of what the snow is like.
