This is almost a repeat of yesterday – Another great days skiing and boarding at Allenheads. The snow is getting still better as it’s flattened and conditions are great with full cover and plenty of cold and sun and no wind. We will open again tomorrow, Friday, at around 11.00am and run the tows until about 3.45. Prospects for Saturday are looking excellent and it should remain good into Sunday so we plan to run the tows both days as well.
Parking is still not straightforward as not many spaces have been cleared. BBC news visited yesterday and there was a feature yesterday evening about ski-allenheads on the local TV news. Numbers of skiers today were similar to Tuesday & Wednesday but it is likely there will be more people tomorrow and Saturday so you may need to clear snow to make a parking space. As the snow by the road is fairly hard, please bring a strong shovel. We are trying to arrange to have the snow cleared from the car parks in the village but that is not yet guaranteed.
The Hemmel Cafe will be open tomorrow from 10.00 until 3.00/3.30. Great choice of cold weather food & drink!
