Membership is now open for the coming season. We expect to be back to normal and plan to fully operate the tows as usual. Lets hope for a repeat of last season’s snow when we could have run the tows for at least 30 days. 

There is more snow on our slope than indicated on neighbouring webcams. Often 6 inches and more in places where it had drifted. Unfortunately there are a few very thin if not bare patches where the wind has blown the snow. The ground is very wet as well. With the colder weather forecast, all we need now is a  little more snow as forecast later this week. Skis crossed.

Snow stopped but thawing on wet ground so not running tows today. Frost and more showers overnight so if the snow stays, may well be OK tomorrow. Will update in the morning.

Snowing heavily and a covering of a few cms. Very uncertain how long the snow will last as rain to follow later this morning. If conditions stay OK, we’ll run the tows but will review later this morning – update on 0191 597 4174 about 11.00am. Will also update here by lunchtime.

Good skiing this morning but snow now going fast. No more until we get fresh snow.

Excellent day skiing & snow boarding. Started with a good 15cms deep covering of snow and still complete cover tonight. Plan is to run the tows from 9.30am Friday. Probably only until about lunchtime as forecast for more rain and rising temperature.

The Hemmel Cafe will also be open from 9.30, so pre or post ski food and drink available.

There’s a reasonable cover of snow so we’re opening today!! We’ll give the roads a chance to be cleared so the tows will start from about 12.00 and run until about 5.00pm. If you come to ski, please take a shovel as you may need to clear a parking space.

Only dustings of snow around so no skiing yet. Maybe more today & tomorrow and will update if improvement.

Its looking certain we will have some snow but difficult to predict if will be enough to ski, especially as the very strong winds may prevent it lying evenly. Monday & Tuesday looking very doubtful but Wednesday is possible. Keep watching and snow fingers crossed.
