That well known ski resort - Edale

Yesterday I saw the most snow fall in New Mills I've ever seen! So brought out the skis and turned our drive into a ski slope (the lift system left a little to be desired...)


Today the snow had stopped and kinder looked very inviting, so we headed to Edale.
Starting off with Grindslow knoll we found several areas of good thigh burning snow to play with! A 10 mile trek ended up with the best snow of the day being discovered off Brown Knoll on our final run! Compact and frozen having been in the shade most of the day it made for some excellent skiing :-)
This was awesome considering I'd resigned myself to no skiing due to the student budget this year! Carrying a quarter of my body weight in knee deep snow made the 10miles an absolute epic and I have just sat down, I'm not sure I'll be straightening my legs for a while...
