  Allenheads is a great place for friendly, economical skiing - you can check out the current Allenheads weather at the web site allenheads.myzen.co.uk

  Although only a small hill, Allenheads can produce quite remarkable skiing conditions on its day. It is a bit of a snow magnet, and I have enjoyed fun days on the hill when other places have no snow or, particularly, have no snow left following a decent fall. The rope lift is well described as being 2 ropes. It is undoubtedly well suited (if not literally perfect) for beginners, however, if there's about a foot of snow there's enough drop on the hill to build a half decent kicker and spend a day launching yourself off it and laughing about the fact that it cost you 20 quid to go skiing for the day- a result of the credit crunch. Apres-ski at Allenheads pub is also highly recommended, as is getting there early and taking a shovel.
  Allenheads is about 45 minutes from Newcastle and about 55 from Durham depending on your route and road conditions.

  Allenheads has easy access and parking. Good family skiing. Friendly licensed cafe offering homemade food in village centre (150metres).

  Skiing is relatively flat and uplift is by two rope tows but it is also the most beginner-friendly of all of the Pennine tows.
