Skiers and snowboarders were up early this morning making the most of the snowfall - but they weren't in the French Alps, they were in Cumbria.

Adventurers were seen enjoying the snowy conditions at the Yad Moss Ski slopes near Garrigill, weaving down the slopes, before battling their way back up again.

Others were spotted attempting the odd trick as they snowploughed their way down the rolling English hills.

Visitors to the slope were enjoying a teeth-chattering 3C today.

The slope is run by volunteers and has been open for close to 40 years. According to the slope's website, the area is unsuitable for inexperienced skiers and snowboarders. It is 600m, long with a vertical rise of 120m. The facility's top station is at 725m.

According to the Met Office, two to four days of snow can typically be expected in Cumbria during November.

In December, this often increases to between six and ten days.
