Season tickets are now on sale at Yad Moss, Allenheads and to retuning Members at Weardale and the Lake District ski club.
Yad Moss Ski Club, North Pennines
http://yadmoss.co.uk/
Allenheads Ski Club, North Pennines http://ski-allenheads.co.uk/
Lake District Ski Club, Helvellyn Massif http://www.ldscsnowski.co.uk/
Weardale Ski Club, North Pennines http://www.skiweardale.com
Last season we skied seven days at Yad Moss including a spell over a week in January which delivered excellent conditions after a perfect north Easterly snow fall. We had over 150 skiers on the Saturday, which is about our limit without a long queue.
Season memberships at Yad Moss are still only £50, with returning members paying only £40. Junior season memberships (under 18 and accompanied by an adult) are just £10 (!).
Or you can just join as a day Member each time, for £25. This year day memberships are likely to be all on line and probably limited in number.
The four northern real snow ski clubs also offer reciprocal arrangements to season ticket members, to ski at each other’s facilities, although there are some restrictions.
Let’s hope for more good skiing again this season.

Fantastic things are afoot, Thankyou Mr Peter for posting the links and the webcams contained within the links no doubt. Another great season of cruising the Pennine beauties beckons.
Mr Whitegoldbrother is on it and that’s tremendous to see, with all the hearty mileage and feedback of the days antics last year achieving many days of unprecedented slopey Pennine mileage. It’s going to be a great season for opening up the outer reaches again of the Pennine piste maps I’m sure.
( separately. I just tried to gain membership of a club and asked not to say what gender I was born as, It then asked me, what gender I would like to be assigned to? Non binary, obvs…Ok, but you will not beable to compete in certain events! I thought why o why that I as a non binary, prefer not to say born as human beam not able to compete in all the events. I have to say, I put my false baps in and was affronted.

Weardale membership duly renewed. Fingers crossed for a great season in the Pennines and Lake District, starting with some November turns!
More of this at Weardale please!

@Peter S, It would be super cool to be able to string them all together in small road trip. I've skied Raise but not the others so need to do that.

A friend managed to ski Yad Moss, Harwood, Weardale and Allenheads in one day, 10 year s or so ago, when Harwood Common was still operational.

| If any SHs are heading to the Northern Snow Show at the Chill Factory on the 4th and 5th October, say hi to us at the ‘Ski Northern England' stand. We are there to chat about the joys of real snow skiing in the Pennines and Lake District and how you can get involved |
Great that @Peter S! What a good idea to promote it in that way. I was at the show last year and enjoyed it as there was free skiing/ski tests on offer. The stalls and stands weren't very extensive though.

Hi MA, not my idea. Weardale rounded us all up and we just had to say yes. Hopefully it’ll be a reasonable fit and we can wave the flag for Pennine and Lakeland snow

Cheers @Peter S! Will you be handing out loads of freebies, in true ski show tradition? Maybe a free draw to win a holiday in a catered chalet in Alston or Stanhope?

I don't think that was me. I did do Allenheads - Yad Moss - Harwood - old Teesdale (?) site - Weardale in a oner but it was definitely a bit longer ago than that. On twin tips with skinny skins, Fritschi touring bindings and mega flexy Scarpa Denalis, I still had a film SLR with me and it was before reliable web updates on tow operations* etc so reckon it may have been 15 yrs ago. Glorious day out with great cover. Skis off to cross the village in Allenheads, again at Killhope cross, once more on the Langdon Beck - St Johns road (walked up a bit of this as getting tired of skinning and the S facing snow was heavy in the afternoon) and then again at Daddry Shield after a run down all the way from Chapel Fell top.
Anyway, some good turns were had last season but, oh for a season like that again....
*I set off in the morning before Allenheads had started up, partly because I could get dropped off early. But i didn't realise that Yad Moss would be the only tow that I'd see running (and get to use) that day. Harwood was like the Marie Celeste (I think it was their last season - the gear was still there before moving up to Lowther Hills) and Weardale (where I was a member) had run for so many consecutive days by then there wasn't anyone available to run the tow midweek. A day or two either way I think all of them were on the go.

Yes definitely maybe, Congratulations.
The first turns of lift assisted skiing deserves a medal. And I would be happy to attend the ceremony if not in a official dishing out role but a mute observer. Well played.

F1 running - the magic words have been spoken at Weardale.
Joint honours to Weardale Ski Club and Allenheads? And can they make it two days in row. Unfortunately my kit is getting serviced so I'm going for the arm chair experience.

Kudos to Allenheads and Weardale. First UK lift served and probably some of Europe’s first lift served skiing too, beyond Finland, some of the glaciers and one or two other places

UPDATE: NORTHERN POWDERHOUSE THREAD NOW EXTENDED TO COVER NORTH YORK MOORS
We got some nice turns in next to Roseberry Topping (above Great Ayton, North Yorkshire) this morning.
- Minus 2C.
- Thin cover of powdery snow on frozen ground.
- A bit bumpy (ruts, frozen lumps of soil...)
- Great fun!
