Snow report Sat 17th Feb

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

We had a good (typical Weardale) day today with 15-20 members enjoying mixed conditions which were actually better than they looked. There was a mixture of good snow, icy stretches and bare patches. It was not ideal for snowboards or beginners but there were some very good routes down but you had to look for them. The forecast is for milder weather so we are not planning to open on Sunday and will have to wait for the next fall of snow. March is forecast by the met office to be very cold indeed so fingers crossed.

For any member who has struggled with the road this year below are a couple of links to some Auto Express tests comparing 2WD and 4WD on summer and winter tyres. Watch it and if you do not have winter tyres on I suspect you may want to pop out and buy some. Driving up the snowdome looks easier than our road at times!
