Good stuff @skier_of_teesdale. Glad you had fun.
Mrs MA and I spotted you early doors at Glencoe last Friday. We were on the new chair at the time, with you off to our right on The Plateau. Managed to not see you again all day after that!

I was circuiting round the Main Basin t-bar but also off taking photos and socialising. Took 3 days to catch up and ski with Eagles. Wednesday was the pick for snow quality at Glencoe for me. Managed 6 days out of 7 up at the Coe. Had to get down the road Sunday night but was back by Tuesday morning. Just waiting to see what the weekend after next does in the Pennines.

The Met Office have just issued a yellow warning for Thursday and Friday. If this pans out close to recent runs of the Met Office UKV mesoscale model and some NMM runs, somewhere is going to get clobbered - the question is where?
| Quote: |
| Higher elevations of the North Pennines, Southern Uplands, higher parts of the Central Belt and the southern Highlands may see as much as 30 to 40 cm of snow in places. In addition, there is potential for strong winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow. |

Birmingham Airport was reported shut on the radio. It was snowing in Manchester when I left and snowing harder and lying on the verges on the outskirts of Bradford when I arrived at work. Hills visible from the M62 were white all the way from Rochdale. Forecast is for it to slowly head north and get heavier.

doesn't look like loads fell at Weardale but the drifted areas and sun are hard to miss out on! (he says trying to persuade himself of not missing out as too busy today!)

@Bergmeister,Looks like she posted on the wrong thread. As she deleted her post, might as well delete the quote to save confusion.

Another good day today. Apparently 250 Members at Weardale and perhaps 150 at Yad Moss. Allendale and Raise also ran today.
According to the Counter in the control box there have been 3,600 Poma departures at Yad Moss over the last two days. If each ski run is an average of 700m then that is 2,500km of skiing since Friday. That’s quite a lot of happiness. Much more again if you add all the kms skied in the other Clubs over the last 2 days.

@Peter S, it was indeed a good day. Great snow and no wind for once, at least not till later on. As I said to you this afternoon many thanks for your efforts.
PS I clocked 36 departures on that poma

@Whitegoldsbrother,
Ooh now were you the nice guy at the summit and then I saw you briefly again just as you were leaving down at the queing area? Delighted you had plenty of runs. 36 is lots at YM  It’s so bumpy and tight there aren’t many parts of the runs where you can relax. Many thanks
