Not opening today
The rain forecast has arrived as have the warmer temperatures. Although there is still snow on the slope, it will be quickly worn and damaged if we open today. As a little more snow is forecast for tonight and tomorrow, along with colder weather, we have decided not to open today but hope conditions will improve so that we can open tomorrow.
We will review conditions early tomorrow morning and send out an update by 9.00am. If we do open, we will run the tows from about 10.00am.
Opening unlikely tomorrow
Opening today
Quick confirmation that we will open today at about 10.30 and stay open until 3.30 or so, if there are still members who want to ski. The Hemmel Cafe will be open from 10.00 to 4.00pm for any drinks or food you would need. Toilets are also open in the village.
Tows tomorrow?
There has been some snow today & more snow and frost is forecast overnight, however there has also been some warmer periods so we’re not certain what conditions will be like in the morning. Our plan is to open at 11.00am tomorrow, Friday but we will confirm in the morning.
Not open Thursday.
Another good day skiing today, albeit snow was thinner with some hard and icy patches. The forecast for tomorrow is for more snow, some of it heavy but also very strong winds making blizzard condition both on the field and on the access roads. Because of the forecast, we’ve decided not to open tomorrow but do expect to run the tows on Friday.
Opening tomorrow, Wednesday
A very good days snow sport today and the cold is helping to keep the snow. The snow is a bit thin in patches but our matting means the whole field is very skiable. We’ll open tomorrow from about 10.30 and stay open until about 4.00pm. The weather forecast is for sunshine and temperatures at or below zero so should be perfect conditions throughout the day.
I’ve had confirmation that the public toilets in Allenheads were open today so I’d expect them to remain open throughout the winter.
Good conditions – Opening today
There’s about 10cms cover of snow at Allenheads, the temperature is -4C and the sun is shining. Perfect conditions!! We’ll run the tows from about 9.00am to about 4.00pm today and expect to run them tomorrow from about 10.00am but will update this evening.
Some snow – possible skiing Tuesday
Not enough snow today
I’m afraid there is not enough snow to ski. Only a patchy 2cms on the slopes so we won’t be opening today. The forecast is for the weather to warm up a little so we won’t be opening until there is fresh snow.
Have a good Boxing Day and lets hope for a snowy New Year.
