Snow forecast

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Happy New Year to everyone. As you will no doubt have heard from the news there is significant snowfall predicted in the coming days but what they are not clear about is where the snow will fall. It seems Scotland and the Western part of Northern England will get the bulk of it and we in Weardale are going to get some but the amount varies from report to report.

We are ready to open if and when we do get snow and I will try and email when we get sufficient to ski on but this is an ideal time to have a look at our new website www.skiweardale.com which has been completely redesigned by Steve Luard and Darren Sharman and is now much more mobile friendly. We also now have 2 new webcams as well as live weather information from our own weather station at the club hut so you can literally sit at home and see exactly what the weather is like at Swinhope. We also have an answerphone (01388 317767) which gives up to date snow conditions and information about the access road if known and we also have a Weardale Ski Club Facebook account and also a Twitter account (link from website) so hopefully you have no excuses for now knowing when we are opening.

Membership is nearly but not quite full and we have a few places left. Please note that weekends are reserved for members only but we do allow day members to ski on weekdays when we open. Day membership forms can be downloaded from the website or here (http://www.skiweardale.com/dayTicketForm.pdf) and annual membership can be obtained here (https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=2953). Annual membership costs £48 for an adult and we then give a £10 discount each year if you renew.
