Snow report Friday 15 January

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

There was limited skiing today on F1, but unfortunately snow cover was too thin on F2. The skiing was difficult but we were able to use the whole of F1 area so we are planning to open tomorrow, Saturday 16th from 10am, and if there is a cold overnight frost conditions may be OK in the morning. Unless there is snow overnight we expect to close early between 1-2pm at the latest.

We now have power back in the lodge, many thanks to Mike Seeley who has spent the day sorting out all our dead batteries and we have the weather station back running but are still experiencing issues with the webcams so currently there is no view of the slopes.

The road up is not bad but there are a few icy patches so take care especially the last section where winter tyres will help. Please follow the tracks from the pistebasher on a diversion from the usual route across which takes you a slightly longer route but avoids the bridge which is unpassable due to the landslide.
