There've been a few snowboarders down the Bus Stop Couloir on the N side of Mam Tor. Finishes by the bus stop below the Mam Nick. Edale face of Grindslow Knoll, above Edale village too blown out. Not been in condition for a couple of winters, one of my colleagues boarded it in his lunch break two years back.
Freezing rain in Edale this morning so conditions not good.
For those who like uplift - rumour mill has it a rope tow has been out and about in the Dark Peak. Its not a commercial operation so dont expect the derbyshire version of Harwood to spring up.
Seen cross country skiers on rushup edge.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Afraid its quite unpleasant at the mo with a thin layer of ice on top. There are still some great easy access routes on the top roads though, with some great drifts. make the most of it!!!

Don't tell 'em about the two rope tows seen in Hayfield this weekend, Pike ! (TR to follow if they're still running, but with the forecast weather I'm not hopeful)

Ssssh, wasnt going to give the location, they're the tows that used to be up on Eldon Hill. A frame jib for rope return is still there.

oldagedpredator, in that case they're the tows that Mrs NBT used once upon a long time ago. Heavy rain forecast for saturday so I doubt conditions will be good enough on Sunday Give us a shout if you fancy some petrol paying company on any future jaunts to the tows in the Pennines though

Would but tend to be up for 2-3 days at a time at moment. Doing long weekends and cramming the working week.
Looked like avalanche debris by the Bus Stop on Mam Tor when went past this eve, but it was by headlight. Will stop and photo on way past tomorrow if it is.
Hopefully North Pennines will hold up get snow rather than rain this weekend. Models are here and there on this one but some show a chance of snow in one or two of them. If not I've got another 30 marker poles to make this weekend. Orange duck tape - pure genius.
