Hi Blackbrook

The lifts opened on Saturday and there have been almost no people here (I think only one of the main hotels has been open). We currently have perfect conditions although due to the lack of skiers the lift company has decided to keep one of the runs that historically wears thin closed and dump loads of man-made snow on them to really build up the base. It has been averaging about -8 degrees most days and the sun has been shining. It hasn’t snowed since last Friday but the snow is still on the trees.

One of the black pistes has been left unpisted and I was skiing on that run in the powder yesterday, it was still soft and fluffy with no crust. Incidentally, I was still able to find large areas of the piste that were totally untracked and that was on Monday, after the lifts had been open for 2 days (gives you some idea how quite it is here at the moment!)

Although we aren’t expecting any more snow at the moment this isn’t currently a problem the pistes are in fantastic shape.

If you would like to have a regular update PM me and I will let you know when things change.

Jan
