Webcams
There are no webcams looking directly at the slopes,
but a couple do look at the adjacent hills to give
you some idea of conditions.

Sometimes
it looks like there is no snow as in this picture
from the George
Fisher webcam.
However skiing did
take place on that day up on Raise - Snowlion
was there along with a couple of dozen others.
The view is of the South facing slopes of Skiddaw
and a few drifts can be seen at the top. The
slope on Raise is North facing and steep enough
never to be in direct sunlight in the winter.
Drifts can remain for long periods if the cold
weather holds and on this crisp winter's day
it was be well below freezing up on the tops.
You
must listen to the snow reports to get the final
word. |
Obviously
if you see snow down to valley level on the webcam
then you are sure to get some good wintersport.
