Skiing & Boarding in Northumberland
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.
The forecast is not very clear but there is a chance of sufficient snow overnight tonight & early tomorrow morning to make the slope useable. We’ll check in the morning and, if there is enough snow and someone available to run the tows, we’ll try to open.
Will post an update in the morning once we know whether or not we can open.
There’s been a bit of snow around in the North East, as well as other parts of the country but so far, no more than the odd flurry at Allenheads. The ground is well frozen so if any snow arrives, it should lie.
The thin snow covering of this morning has turned into a thin and patchy covering by teatime. More snow showers are forecast overnight but there will have to be a reasonable fall to make conditions skiable.
We’ll see what its like around 8.00am tomorrow and put out an update.
There’s a thin cover of snow at Allenheads but nowhere near enough to ski/board. More is forecast during today & tonight so it’s sounding positive for tomorrow. Will update later 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.
