Yad is a cool place when there's about 10 cm of fresh as the volunteers have over the years cleared the hillsides of stones etc.

The top of the runs (about 500mt) gives some good sport on a snowboard with little bumps and berms to air off.

looking down the slope and over to your right you can see a gap in the wall ....head for this and on the other side is a great v shaped valley which when loaded provides some excellent wupeeee sport on a board. Its difficult to get back to the base of the poma from here but its worth it for the sport!!

some advice on transport.... i've been a few times and the road from upper teesdale (high force ) can and does get blocked......don't attempt it without 4wd or chains (like one ****head bmw driver did and blocked the snowploughs way!!)

It's a long walk over the top so check carefully before setting out.
