Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@telford_mike, Cheers, Better than even 2010 in terms of depth and quality of snow. Hopefully we won't have to wait that long again Smile

Snow back on the local hills to make a 5th day of 'skiing' this month. Across the valley this time from All Stretton to walk up to the golf course in time for the sunset. The foot path usually holds enough snow to skin up on to the tops.

I had a drive over to Snowdonia yesterday for a look see and skin up. Although the web cams suggested more snow then there was, I managed turns for a few hundred meters vertical on the Carneddau.

Looks like it's started in South Wales with MikePow's thread kicking off.

This week we saw some snow in Snowdonia but not enough to warrant the 2 hour drive from here. My go to links for conditions are:

^^ A site recording the snow fall in Snowdonia.

The facebook UK ground conditions group is pretty handy too.

It turns out that the Carneddau ponies are a breed in their own right.

I finally managed to break out the ski touring kit for some turns on our local hills. The North path up the Lawley has always looked appealing, quite wide but grassy. The down side is the parking is problematic as it turned out so today.



^^Snow from the start



^^ Dog enjoys the touring



^^ Classic(?) Volkl Karmas relegated to rock skis. A light set up though.

More snow is forecast so with luck some steeper ground will come into condition.

Meanwhile here in North Wales, plenty of cover, but locked down, so a no go unless for a specific set of reasons for travel.

Another dump about 6am in Derbyshire this morning. Had one car abandoned outside already and the police are advising not to travel.

Loads of idiots from Sheffield and Manchester asking about the best places to come and bring their kids sledging on the local Facebook pages.

@russ_e, Where abouts are you in the Peaks. I've never made it over to ski but Leek is only an hour away for me. Any suggestions for likely slopes ?

Close, but no cigar. I was hoping the paths might have covered with the mornings snow but not quite. A few turns at the top but the rocks stopped play. If we get some more, it should be possible to ski a couple of hundred meters for vertical.

I see a fair few have been out on the Carneddau. Lucky locals I guess.

We are between Bakewell and Over Haddon so lots of little hills you could spend an hour going up and down but nothing great. With regards to Ski Touring, I'm not really sure to be honest. Mam Tor might be good, Kinder Scout or Win Hill too.

It's not very high around here unfortunately but there is still some snow left today and more forecast tomorrow. It's really busy at the moment so if you want to park up you will need an early start!
