The Snow Centre is open, offering adults the opportunity to learn either with an instructor 1:1 or with friends and family, or join one of our Adult Group Lessons.

We offer a range of snowsports activities to enjoy, whether you're prepping for a trip to the mountains or you want to keep your ski legs going closer to home. 

Whatever your experience, if you're a complete newbie a season pro or anywhere in between, we've got a group lesson to help you learn new skills or perfect old ones.

With reduced capacity, there'll be a maximum of 6 participants in your lesson giving you more sliding time.

The word from the slopes

  • “Love it here. Great slope and the staff are really friendly. Also love the Alpine bar and viewing area. So pleased to have it back.”

  • “My family's first visit. It was a great day out, enjoyed a coffee and some cake before the lesson. Then enjoyed a lesson with a very calm and reassuring instructor. Would recommend a visit, it was good fun.”

  • “Our first visit to try out new boots before our holiday. A great way to get your "ski legs" back. Snow excellent, staff extremely helpful, facilities spotless and a nice coffee to end the session.”

  • “Overall my experience at the snow centre was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was so welcome and supportive as well it was easy to understand the prep before hand. As a beginner ive never got the hang of the basics so quickly, so a massive thank you to all instructors.”
