    Could be tempted.... would be amusing as I haven't skied for almost two years and that was track cross country! Forecast is saying we might get some on Saturday. Do you bother with skins?

    no where near as much snow as mid week Andy but yes me and Nik met up and went up near Black clough over Bleaklow meadows ( where we were looking on Tuesday) and up to the wreck. Snow had the consistency of slippy granite and having touring skis I could skin up . Nik tried in Fishscales (skis not tights) and struggled with grip. very cold on top. A bit of fresh snow and it will be great up there. paths were very icy
