Thanks for that info Grant. The link you gave didn't work but the site is available here.

Loads of info, links and contact phone numbers for the different ski tows in this area.
I've not been to SWINHOPE before but it sounds well worth a visit when the snow comes. I've been to Raise a lot and with a good covering of snow the west slopes of the the Dodds are excellent - much longer runs, no-one else around, amazing views, ok but you'll have to hike back up after. Have you tried any of the east facing gullies around this area?
I didn't realise the were so many small ski areas in this part of the Pennine moors.
