Snow update day 20

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Perhaps should be called The Weardale International Ski Club after our 2 Italian members joined us today. The mild weather has melted a lot of the snow so thanks to those who helped to connect the F1 towline by shovelling snow onto it. The reward for the 7 who attended was a great run down the west of F1 and all the F2 gullies still full and ski-able. The highlight was being able to ski all the way down from Dora's Seat, down the main gully, down Black Scar and down to the bottom of F1 on excellent snow. The higher return route via clay pit gully (aka telegraph gully) - route number 45 on the map - was also good. Photos and videos on Facebook.

We will now need further snow before we can open again but funny things are still going on at the North Pole still so don't pack away your skis yet. That's all for now folks.
