Season 2020/21

Tows coming down this Sunday
We’ve decided to take our tows down this coming Sunday, 15th March. A couple of weeks early but the weather forecast shows no chance of snow; plus we’d like to get the job done soon before any of our potential helpers get Covid-19.
Come and give a hand, starting at 10.30 at Allenheads. Hope to finish by 12.30 – with enough help.
No tows at Allenheads – Try Weardale or Yad Moss
Had a good day at Weardale Ski Club. Thanks to the Steves for their guiding. They’re running tows again today as plenty of snow, especially higher up. Also expect some icy bits and bits of mud and grass to steer around. But good fun. Yad Moss also opening again today.
Not enough snow. No Skiing.
Field has patchy snow with green patches on the tows so they can’t run. The ground is also saturated so no skiing I’m afraid.
Checking the Conditions
We’re checking out the conditions and will update by about 10.00 to say whether open or not.
Snow forecast. Maybe tows tomorrow.
A very snowy but stormy night in prospect. There may well be enough snow to open tomorrow although drifting may make it patchy. We’ll update in the morning. Access from Rookhope & Weardale may be difficult.
No tows this morning
Snow is now patchy and skiing tricky so we’re not planning on opening today. Will review later as more snow forecast but expected to quickly turn to rain, so very unlikely conditions will be good enough to run the tows.
More snow forecast for tomorrow and Sunday so Sunday is looking a distinct possibility for opening.
Yad Moss & Weardale running this morning, so Ski-Allenheads members can get reduced rate day tickets if you fancy a go.
We-re Open. Tows are running!
Snow conditions not bad. Complete cover and perfectly skiable on a firm base so we’re open today. Tows are running now and will continue to about 5.00pm! Weather is sunny and cold.
