About Us

This ambitious project is the brainchild of David Surrey, director of the Hemel Ski Centre which was started by his father in 1978.

David saw the potential for a groundbreaking and cutting edge facility and his enthusiasm was infectious as many in the UK leisure industry have supported the project. In his own words, "We see indoor slopes as the future for skiing and snowboarding in Britain and our aim is to create a superb facility that will allow people to enjoy the sport all year round."

Qualified ski instructor and technical management expert Stephen Jordan is part of the team running the venture, "Our Centre of Excellence will enable everyone from beginner to expert to enjoy their chosen snow sport. We are deploying state of the art snow making equipment for the perfect Alpine surface." The team is further strengthened by the appointment of Peter Silver Gillespie as Snow Sports Director. Pete is a Trainer/Examiner for BASI and will bring a wealth of experience to the team. He is currently designing the courses and lesson structure, which will go live in April 2009.

Two years in the making, the entire project has been backed by NatWest bank and with the support of builders Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd.

The meticulous design will feature one of Britain’s biggest living roofs covering the entire length of the slope, making it visually unobtrusive and environmentally friendly.

Come April 2009 the entire project will be ready for you to cut the perfect line.
