Find Your

This is not a definitive list. There
are other slopes in the planning stages, and others that have already been
and gone. I will up date this page when ever fresh news comes to
light. |

Background to Indoor Ski-ing |
| |
Modern technology now allows for real snow to be made indoors at special venues across
the country. It certainly makes up for the lack of natural snowfall that we get in
the UK!! |
| |
The runs are not normally as long as the plastic outdoor slopes, but what they lack in
length, is certainly made up for just because of the fact that you are ski-ing on snow.
There are only three of these venues at the moment, but more are planned for the UK
in coming years. I will up-date this page as and when new ones are built. |
| |
If you decide to visit one of these venues then please don't forget to wrap up warm.
The ski slopes are built inside what is basically a large freezer. The air
temperature to make snow needs to be -3 degrees Celsius MAXIMUM. You can expect it
to be colder than this. Add to this the wind chill factor experienced whilst ski-ing
at around 25 to 30 mph and it can feel like -15 to -20 degrees Celsius!!! |
