The Weardale Ski Club Ltd
A couple of us went up to Swinhope today accompanied by Mike Amos (reporter from the Northern Echo) who wanted to do an article about WSC appearing this Thursday in the Echo if you are interested.
Snow cover looked thin but after he left we got our skis out and had some excellent runs on both F1 and F2 which were both much better than expected. Snow is forecast overnight and all day tomorrow and on Sunday, so it is looking promising.
We are planning to open for skiing on both Saturday and Sunday from 10am. It is likely to be goggle rather than sunglass weather. Sunday looks the better day but also slightly windier. Temperature never got above -2c today and is forecast very cold overnight so we should lose none of the snow we have and hopefully if forecasts are right gain as few cm.
Please remember that weekends are reserved for members only and we do not accept day members but there are still a few membership places available (http://www.skiweardale.com/index.html#tickets - click on the season ticket link).
Finally the road was clear tarmac at the end of today but with snow forecast overnight and very cold temperatures come prepared for tricky conditions as usual and take care on the road. Snow or winter tyres make a huge difference. Lidl are currently selling chains unbelievably cheap (no idea of the quality).
