Sadly we have had to make a difficult decision not to re-instate the White Lady Tbar  in time for this winter. I know this will be a disappointment to many, particularly as during the winter, we were very much of the opinion that we should be able to repair the White lady this summer. Unfortunately the situation changed in the Spring; firstly we do not have the funds to repair the lift and secondly there has been  increasing concerns voiced by our own technical team about the extent of the work needed to repair this lift.  We therefore commissioned an external report and this was taken to our Board last week, at which we made a decision to further delay the repair/replacement of this lift. The White Lady run will continue to be serviced by both the M1 tow and the Funicular uplift and this summer repairs have been made to the “elephant fence” to help improve snow holding on this part of the mountain.  It is our policy to provide uplift that ensures skiers can make the most of what snow we get on the mountain and generally this worked very well last winter. A programme of on going investment in the skiing side of the business continues and this summer our technical operations team has carried out a full programme including  motor upgrades as well replacing ropes and general line work. We are also working on web cam and web site improvements. I will keep you updated as we make progress.  Bob     

The Ptarmigan tow hut has gone! But it will be replaced soon – this has been to do with installing new inverters on the motor system!  The drainage below the White lady tow completely failed in the spring and washed away some of the access track near the middle station.  The old drainage culvert – made of sleepers and stone was probably built around 47 years ago. We have to replace this with a new plastic pipe as you can see from the picture .
