Weardale is good. Been there a couple of times. 
I prefer Yad Moss just up the road tho. It's a bit longer, and not as steep so you seem to get more slope time. There's not a lot between the two mind. And they face different directions, so if one of them hasn't got enough snow then the other one usually has.

how much can you get to austria for a weekend away?
scotland is good for calling in work sick and going. If you have to preplan everything then its probably easier as you say to go abroad...
I did so last weekend. Booked the flight like a month before and cost about £80. Not sure about flights to Scotland but with transfer to the resort etc it's probably not that different in price for a weekend.
Just to clarify, I'm not dissing Scotland at all, and would definitely like to go sometime.. just not so easy for us southerner  |

| Now I'm depressed, I thought I'd have at least a month before the reality of being forced to move to England would set in. Still, family in Glasgow so it's a trip up to say hello to everyone soon I think. |

| Went for my first lesson today with a few boys from work. Got there 30mins late as there was a crash. Anyway got there and I just went straight up the dryslope. Wasn't much of a lesson as the instructor didn't pay any attention to my because he was helping my workbuddies who kept falling over. Anyway there was snow on the mountains up north and I look every day and get more nd more excited. Everything I look at seems to be about boarding. Canny wait |

| Thats why you have to make some Scottish friends that you can easily call upon for a place to crash for a week. A case of beer as a thank you can usually seal the deal |
