and of course you can relive your childhood with a tray and some snow - just add a ramp!

Hmmm... Who knows. There has been a bit more overnight, but not a huge amount. There might be some more this afternoon, but then again
it is just as likely to rain and melt it all.
Puttin my neck on the line, I don't think there will be lots left for the weekend, but I could be completely wrong!

If your in Manchester you could go snow boarding through Moss Side, there certainly is some really nice people there

I've just got back from another session on the hill. The snow has melted quite a bit though and there were some big patches of grass on
south facing slopes when I left.
Had a go at snow-kiting though. Getting going wasn't that easy, but once up and riding it was OK and I pulled off some big jumps. One
or two were about 7-8 foot, then I tried one on my weaker side and ended up with a fairly sore arse!!!
Lets hope we get some more snow overnight otherwise things don't look too good for tomorrow.

Sorry... we didn't get any photos. I haven't got a digital camera and carrying my SLR around the hills is just too much hassle.
It was snowing heavily here just a minute ago and theres a light covering over the roads and other places it had melted again.. Lets
just hope those snow-clouds heading for Pembro and Cornwall push a little further East first and get us!!
