Skiing Friday 1st Dec

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Snow has eventually arrived at Swinhope after falling mainly down the east of the country all day. There seems to be a good base of 2" at the moment with more forecast overnight so we are planning to open tomorrow but will review the situation once we have arrived and will try and update the answerphone and website once we assess conditions. We do not know what the road will be like and I suspect may be tricky so would recommend 4wd, winter tyres or chains . Also we do not know what the skiing conditions will be like so we may close early so would suggest not turning up after 1pm.
Day members are welcome but please print off the day membership form from the website and complete it in advance and hand to a tow operator prior to skiing.
If conditions are good we will aim to open on Saturday but will update Friday evening.

Snow update

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

There has been some fresh snow over the weekend but only a thin covering and not quite enough for skiing but the forecast is for the cold spell to continue and hopefully more snow towards the end of the week so if we all collectively keep our fingers crossed! Keep your eyes on the webcam and emails. We are all set for when the snow does come and congratulations to Lowther for being the first British resort to open this season - I believe they opened their nursery slopes this weekend.
