Checking in
After you book your Lesson or Lift Pass we will send you an email with your Booking Reference, we now have contactless check in for all our sessions using the QR code within your Booking confirmation email. Check in is now on the Ground Floor either at our new reception desk or by using our sef service screeens, Please arrive at The Snow Centre 30 minutes before your session is due to start, to have enough time check in, collect your equipment and get changed.
Clothing
The temperature on the slope will range from -2°c to -6°c so we recommend thick warm socks and layered clothing. You will need gloves for all slope activities and we don’t recommend jeans, as they usually end up pretty waterlogged, but any waterproof clothing would be ideal.
Don't forget to bring along your warm waterproof clothing, gloves and socks. You can now hire a jacket and/or trousers, just £7 for 1 item or £12 for both - our changing cubicles are now back open. If you have your own equipment please bring this along too. Gloves and socks are available to purchase online or at our reception desk on the day. Gloves are £12 and Socks are £6. Helmet liners are also available to purchase for £5.
Helmets are required for all our activities, and hire is included with your session. Or you can buy one from Reception for £25.

Equipment
Whether you're skiing or snowboarding make sure you know your height, weight and shoe size so we can set you up with skis, snowboards and boots at our equipment rental desk. If you are bringing a junior along make sure you do know their details too.
We’ve partnered with HEAD to provide you with all the Snowsports equipment you’ll need on the slope. Your Lesson or Lift Pass includes the hire of your skis, snowboard, boots, poles and helmet. So, no need to worry about extra costs. Equipment will be sanitised after every use too.

Helmets
If you’re participating in a high adventure sport, it makes sense to wear a helmet. We want to promote safety awareness amongst Snowsports enthusiasts, so helmet hire is included within the price of your session.
It is compulsory for all those taking part in an on-snow activity to wear a helmet. You can bring your own or borrow one of ours, these are available in various sizes and can be collected from the Equipment Collection Desk.
