3 Peaks on ski's - snow report
I am hoping to cross-country ski the 3 peaks of Yorkshire tomorrow (Tuesday).
I walked up Pen Y ghent from Horton on Saturday and the snow was absolutely fantastic and totally skiable from top to Bottom - I could probably ski the whole route with half the amount of Saturdays snow level.
I just wish I had brough my ski's!
It s milder today so I am worried that the snow will melt so if anyone is in the area - a snow report would be very much appreciated.

Reckon you could do it faster than running?

Can't imagine there will be much left by tomorrow.
This maybe of use

Possible faster if there were no stiles and perfect snow conditions but a lot slower otherwise.
I will test it out as soon as we get enough snow (50cm plus that is (if only))

For me they would need to install a ski lift first :D
Not fussy, a drag lift will do. ;)

Was up Ingleborough today. Now the temp had risen, the snow and ice is thawing quite quickly. I would imagine Fri-Sun would have been ideal for skis but by tommoz it will be way to patchy and the patches will probably be sleety ice.

AIA, cheers for the snow update. I have always wanted to ski the 3 peaks (or at least one of them) but it looks like I have missed out again.
Not bringing my ski's last Saturday can prove to be a costly mistake....

After looking at the Webcam this morning I decided to 'sack it' off and go to work instead.
Well, mustn't grumble - the sun is shining and I am off to Chamonix for new year and there's plenty of snow there.
