Presume they must have shed loads of snow there at the minute, but their website still says "closed for skiing".
Tried to call them. but not been able to get through.
Anyone know if they are up and running at the moment or at the weekend (if the snow stays)?

magic_hat, we do have snow round here, and it's staying put at the moment as temps remain below zero all day.
Yesterday would have been a powder day if they were open, but I've no idea if they are.

Not heard anything. I left my mobile number with Andy last spring and he said they text people en masse to say there is skiing - heard nothing though. Ricklovesthepowder, yes it is a mountain boarding centre with 2 rope tows - it opens for skiing when conditions permit. Went there New Year's Day and it was great fun. Will search out a link to the pics

and here's a trip report with some pics http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=59232&highlight=halifax, within that is a link to my pics too.
UPDATE- I just texted Andy Smith (07768 695059) and he has said yes they are skiing - open 6.30pm tonight and 11am tomorrow. ENJOY!! Wish I could go, but we are snowed in at home. Had to make do with skiing in the woodyard nextdoor to us on 50m self-pisted green!

There is also a small set of rollers in the middle - they're fun.

I cycled past on sunday; said hi to a nordic skier watched the slider for a bit, then went and got stuck in a load of snowdrifts on the bike.
Looked a nice day for it, but I bet the snow was fairly hard.
