A great north facing bowl high above Daddryshield that holds snow very wells so often has good ski conditions. Only about an hour's drive from Tyneside or Teesside. So check the website for membership and snow conditions, then off you go!

A fantastic set up ran by volunteers and fellow skiers, membership fee is minimal and this year we've had about 13 good days of snow where the lifts have been open which more than covers the membership fee
