The
definitive guide to skiing and snow boarding on real snow with real
ski lifts
in the mountains of Cumbria, Northumberland and County Durham
Castleside
| Castleside
is the regions lowest altitude ski slope and, not surprisingly,
it has the poorest snow record. This lack of snow coupled
with other organisational factors mean that the tows were
last open to the general public four years ago.
Castleside is not really in the same league as the other
facilities in the North, but it is sometimes open to the
public and it is a permanent ski tow so I have included
it anyway. |
