BBQ+Skiing Sunday 8 Feb

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

2 committee members have been up today to check out conditions and the snow has held up surprisingly well due the previous pisting. F1 is very good with a good solid run down on the East and also one run on the West and F2 is also skiable though a little more patchy in places but they reckon 5 runs are ok. We are going ahead with the planned BBQ and skiing on Sunday, lifts opening from 10am.

The road is now clear tarmac though there may be one or two icy patches so still take care but no need for chains or 4wd. 

Kevin has done a great job moving some snow about to connect F1 + F2 and has also pisted the M1 which is skiable. Apparently the snow is better than appears on the webcams!

Steve Luard has set up the weather station which can be accessed via the front page of the website and gives up to date conditions including temp, wind speed + direction, humidity, atmospheric pressure and precipitation plus lots more. Hopefully this will be very useful when deciding whether to come skiing and what to wear.

Please remember tomorrow is for members only, so no day visitors and please remember to bring some cash for sausage burgers, gluhwein and soup.
