Snow forecast and a couple of events

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Hi everyone. Winter is finally on its way and we have already had a thin covering of snow at Swinhope with more predicted this weekend on Friday night and Saturday morning. A total of 4cm is predicted but accompanied by high winds and falling on very wet ground so it is unlikely we will be able to ski this weekend but keep an eye on the webcam and answerphone in case it is better than expected. For those prepared to travel, Cairngorm are expecting 20+ cm snow according to snow-forecast.com.

There are a couple of events coming up that might be of interest to members. LD Mountain centre in Newcastle are having a "lock in" next Wednesday 25th November from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. They will be offering mulled wine and food, ski/board maintenance demos, freebies, prizes and discounts on top of the usual 10% discount to WSC members (remember to take your card).

Also on Friday 27th November at Silksworth in Sunderland there is a ski testing event costing £7 from 6-9pm. Rossignol, Dynastar and Salomom will all be there with others possible and they will have a good variety of skis including all mountain skis which you will all be able to test. They will also have  one of the top boot fitters in the country, Keith Yeoman, present.
