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 :-)

What's the skinny on Raise conditions for the weekend? Has the wind dumped the snow into Thirlmere or not?
In the LD for the weekend and contemplating chucking skis in the car. Are day members subject to a cap? What's the situation re car parking, v limited around the mines but a fair foot slog further from the Traveller's Rest.
Thanks

It's a long walk in
http://www.ldscsnowski.co.uk/
Allow a good 1 hour to walk up the mountain.
You will have to carry your skis, boots and bring a packed lunch
Please refer to O.S.
Map English Lakes 1:25000. N.E. Sheet
before setting off.
Raise ( 343175 )is reached from
Glenridding ( 386169)
Follow the road up to Greenside Mines(365174)
On reaching the mines follow the footpath for Sticks Pass.
The ski tow and the huts are at the top end of the valley.
At the top of the ziz zags you will see on your left a steep banking this is the old chimney follow this until you reach the remains of the chimney then traverse raise you will come to the ski slope
When reaching the area you will find
the club hut ( 345177 )
Raise can also be reached from the west by a footpath from the Thirlmere side.
Depart from Stybeck ( 318189 ) at the junction of the A591 and B5322.
Take the footpath for Sticks Pass.
When reaching the top of the pass ( 343183 ) Raise is due south.
The tow is in a south easterly direction
approx 140deg S.S.E.
This route is a much steeper climb than the Greenside side.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, Thank you google monkey.
Guess I'm after some practicals for BH weekend parking as much as anything given the usual LD BH bunfight and the fact that road parking restrictions usually kick in from Good Friday for the summer.

, given the state of the low level roads around here, I reckon you'd have to dig a parking space in all honesty!!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Will be cool to skin in from Glenridding then.
