Skiing - Friday? Saturday? Sunday - yes + BBQ

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

There has been a bit of a thaw today with light rain in Stanhope which has washed away some snow. We are not sure what has happened to the snow on Swinhope Moor and a lot depends on temperatures overnight. We are therefore not sure whether we will be opening on Friday or indeed Saturday but will update the answer phone soon after 9am.

We are however definitely going ahead with the BBQ on Sunday come what may and have organised music from the one and only James Cummings and BBQ Sausages, Gluhwein and whatever else from the Jamie Oliver of the slopes John de Muschamp.

There will be skiing at least on F1 which has excellent cover, currently not sure what F2 will be like but who cares!

Please remember weekends are for members only so please do not turn up if you are not a member as you will be turned away.Remember to bring some loose change for the BBQ + gluhwein.

Can I also remind people to take away any rubbish and tidy up their tables when eating inside or outside the lodge. Somebody has put a bin in the lodge but unfortunately any food or rubbish left just attracts vermin so we ask everyone to take any rubbish home with them and also to tidy up after themselves - there are cloths and cleaning materials in the kitchen. Thanks to all those who do already do this.
