Meet Our Instructors

Ross Griffiths

What skill do you teach? Snowboard and flatland Freestyle

What qualification do you have? BASI Level 2 and UKCP Coaching Level 1

When was your first Snowsports experience and where? I learned to snowboard when Hemel was a dry slope

What’s the best thing about being an instructor at The Snow Centre? We have a lot of clients so I get to develop good relationships with people that come often, as well as meeting and inspiring new people.

One single tip you would give to anyone taking part in snowsports... Learning and improving is good for you, as it makes it easier and safer for you to have fun... but mostly have fun.

Best Snowsports memory? Charging down black runs on the last day of my Level 2. Probably one of the most physically and mentally demanding challenges I've had, but that day I forgot all about it and just rode my board, and have never had so much fun.

The word from the slopes

“Easy access from M1. Plenty of parking, simple registration, and quick service to collect skis, boots etc. Both lifts serving the main slopes worked faultlessly and although the session was quite busy I felt the slopes were quite free of other skiers & classes. I particularly liked the snow conditions and at the end enjoyed the amazing cafè overlooking the slopes. Reasonably priced menu. All told an excellent start to our skiing this year.”
“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons & lift passes.”
“Very helpful staff would recommend to anyone trying to learn snow sports very down to earth people.”
“Great place, nothing negative to add. You can rent all of the equipment down to socks. Any kind of lessons available. Parking, gear store, cafe on site”
“Great lessons with experienced instructors who put kids and parents at their ease. The lessons were full as it was half term, but each child still didn’t have to wait too long between turns on the slope. It was easy to get and return equipment and the food in the restaurant was great and came promptly.”
