Sunday sounds a little violent with some snow probably falling across the slopes at Raise, though probably not enough to ski...even if you could stand up 
At least its a change from the rubbish we've had here recently.
Winds will continue to be a major problem with severe
gale or storm force westerly winds. Again severe wind-
chill with the freezing level lowering to 600M. Sunny
spell and blustery sleet and snow showers.

Not quite. Hochgurgl has been open for some weeks, as has Ishgl - neither of which are glacier resorts.

Light dusting over High Street this morning, and also Blencathra. Sadly can't see Cross Fell due to clouds

Raise should be operational today and with good visibility it could be spectacular ! 
Weardale may be operational on Wednesday. The wind has been in the wrong direction for Yad Moss so far.

Deep snow covering the runs, despite todays thaw and big winds.

More snow reaching the Lakes overnight and the westerly winds continuing.
Could this be another 1991 situation with snow falling on and off into next week and the build up getting bigger and bigger

These north west snow bearing winds seem to be the very best for raise? Thats what it looks like it from the angle of the slope and the terrain.
The two Pennine sites on Burnhope Seat are best for north and east winds.
what about weardale? does it just catch what it can, but holds it for longer due to the aspect?

Wanted to say a massive thanks to the Lovely people at raise. What a club! Fun hike up, we came as a party of 3 with forms and cash. Very warm welsom, some great skiing and even managed to get uninterrupted fresh pow for at least 200 vertical metres on the ride home! As a weardale member I have to say hats off to Raise for the friendliest membership and most enthusiastic committee! We will definitely back if/when the snow allows!

Last time the tow got buried the snow was too hard to shovel; ended up using a chain saw to cut blocks...

No piste basher, a load of shovels though to clear a channel for the tow 
Check the Snowline for the latest updates on when the tow will be running.

I can see plenty of snow on the side of the Peak District from my office in S. Manchester... Daydreaming about skiing rather than working...
Would imagine there's a pretty decent amount in the Lakes too (as there is in that vid), especially if the current forecasts for cold and snow next week come true! I should really get up there at some point.

Peter S, Thanks, another great video from Gordie.
One question though, how does his dog get back down the hill?
Presumably he has to wait for the dog to catch up at the bottom!
