The snow is lasting well with a good cover virtually everywhere. We’ll open tomorrow about 10.00am and see how things go. The forecast is for the cold to last all day so we can probably run until 4.00pm although some of the runs may degrade during the day. A bit more cloud but should stay bright with sunny spells so very pleasant.

There shouldn’t be any need to dig parking spaces but if the parking near the slope gets busy, there is plenty of space in the public car park across the road from the Allenheads Inn.

The Hemmel cafe will be open from 10.00 – 15.00 for food, drink & toilets.

The snow is lasting well and there is the same cover as early in the week plus a little fresh snow today. We will be opening tomorrow at about 11.00am and possibly also for a while on Saturday morning.

Another good day and very enjoyable skiing. The snow is slightly thinner but holding up well so we’re opening again tomorrow from about 11.00am. The Hemmel will be open again for food, drinks & toilets.

Snow conditions have remained good and the freezing temperature means they will stay good tomorrow and possibly into Thursday. We will open tomorrow, Wednesday, around 11.00am and will update tomorrow evening for Thursday.

Please note that the Hemmel Cafe will re-open tomorrow after the New Year break. Also, the toilets in the village are closed but the Hemmel are very happy for people to use their toilets, even if you don’t buy anything – assuming you can resist the temptation of their coffee and cakes!

A good days skiing and boarding today. Only a few cms cover but on hard ground and temperature below zero so enough for some good fun. Blue skies and sunny so a very enjoyable day. Hard frost forecast tonight so the snow will stay and we plan to open tomorrow from about 11.00am.

The bottom of A tow looks a bit worn but still very skiable. All of the hill above the very bottom of A tow has excellent snow.

There’s been a bit more snow and its very cold so it may well be skiable today. The plan is to run the tows from about 12.00 to 3.30 or 4.00. Road access is unclear. Should be ok from Hexham but not sure from other directions.

There was a bit of snow overnight giving a patchy covering with a lot of grass showing through. Given the wet ground, it won’t be possible to ski or board on it so we won’t be opening today. It’s possible there will be more snow tonight and the freezing temperature may make skiing possible tomorrow so I’ll send out an update in the morning.

I’m afraid there is still only a very thin cover of snow and sleet & rain forecast this morning so not possible to open today. More snow forecast this week but patchy and not very cold so unlikely we’ll open. However we’ll keep an eye on conditions and keep you updated.

Happy Christmas from Ski-Allenheads. 

There is a thin covering of snow at Allenheads but not enough to ski on, especially as the ground underneath is soft and wet. There’s a slight chance of more snow tonight, combined with a frost so we’ll continue to monitor conditions but the forecast is not good with any early morning snow being followed by heavy rain. 

Will update tomorrow morning, once we’ve had a chance to check the conditions.

Disappointing but barely any fresh snow and now being followed by some rain. No more snow forecast until tomorrow afternoon so I’m afraid we won’t open today & very unlikely that we’ll get any snow to allow us to open tomorrow.

Have a good Christmas and lets hope for some snow over the holiday period.
