Today's Report

18.00 - Saturday 8th January 2011.

Snow: Continuing teasing amounts of snow but not enough to make it worth running the tows. If things do start to look promising, call the answer machine after about 8.30am. Number is: 01661 860689

09.00am - Saturday 4th December 2010.

Snow: There’s now about 80 cms - which makes for good boarding & skiing but is causing some parking problems. 

Car Parking: If you go to Allenheads over the weekend, please take a shovel and make sure you park off the road and don’t block entrances to drives, roads or houses. As well as the parking near the hall, there is a car park in the village. This car park is through the gate opposite the pub. There is also a car park on the Rookhope road, opposite the top of B tow. This may not have been ploughed, but if it hasn’t, it may still be possible to park there with a bit of digging.

We’re still having problems with A tow, so we will only have B tow (the one nearest the road) running this weekend, plus a portable tow beside A tow. The portable tow’s capacity is less than A tow – maximum of 3 people at a time, so you may have to be patient if you use it.  

Skiing & Boarding this weekend is open to all members, including anyone with Restricted Membership.

A few reminders ..........

When you come to Allenheads, 

Bring a shovel so you can dig a parking space

Please don't park in front of the drive to Allenheads Lodge - it is easily blocked which, not surprisingly, cheeses off the residents

If you aren't a member, come to the hut at the bottom of the field & we'll enroll you so you can then ski or board immediately

Unfortunately, because of the danger to everyone (and the nature of our lease & insurance) we can't allow anyone to sledge on the field. 

Non-Members: To ski at Allenheads, you must join the ski club, but we are very happy to take your application on the day & you can then ski immediately. See the Membership page for more information.
