See what our customers had to say about their time at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead:
“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.”
“We booked a beginners group ski lesson for 4 people and we had such a good time. Our ski instructor was Stuart T and from start to finish he was super helpful and encouraging. We would 100% recommend learning with him and are looking forward to going back again so that we can progress further.”
“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons lift passes.”
“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.”

Adaptive Snowboard learners will need you to be able to stand. However, if you are a wheelchair user, find it difficult to stand for long periods or have limited mobility, you can still enjoy the slopes on a piece of equipment called a sit-ski. The DSUK are extremely experienced helping people, with all kinds of disabilities, get onto the slopes and enjoy snowsports.
