TESTIMONIALS

See what our customers had to say about their time at The Snow Centre Manchester:

Bob T

“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.”

Sue L

“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.”

Wayne M

“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons lift passes.”

Molina K

“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.”

FAQs.

Find all the answers to commonly asked questions about The Snow Centre Manchester.

Aim to arrive 45 minutes to an hour before the start time of your lesson to allow ample time for preparation. Upon arrival, please have your booking reference available (you can find this on your booking confirmation email). You can collect your tickets from the Guest Services desk or the self-service ticket machines situated near reception. If your booking confirmation has a QR code, you can scan it at the self-service machines to check in.

Our facilities include changing cubicles, accessible changing facilities, and lockers available to store your belongings, which accept a £1 coin or a locker token. These are returnable. 

You can enrol your child in kids’ ski lessons starting from the age of four, and we also offer private ski lessons for children as young as three. To reduce any potential disruption during lessons, please ensure your child has been to the toilet prior to the lesson.

During junior lessons, a parent/guardian is required to remain on-site and be in sight of the lesson (where reasonably possible) at all times. This is in case the instructor needs to signal a parent/guardian to come down to attend to their child. Parents/guardians are not allowed to be on the snow with their child, but should be up in the Lodge viewing gallery or adjoining balcony.

We wouldn’t recommend it. If you want to get the most out of your skiing, then it’s important to have a few lessons to help you pick up the basics before heading to the mountains. This makes it more fun but also makes skiing safer for them and others on the slope.

To ensure a safe skiing experience at The Snow Centre, we set certain slope policies before anyone can use our Main Slope. All recreational users must meet the following minimum standards:

  • Be able to control and link turns.
  • Be able to control speed and direction.
  • Be able to stop safely.
  • Be comfortable with variable piste conditions.
  • Be competent in using a drag lift

The beginner slope is reserved for instructor-led lessons only and is not open to the general public for use outside of an official lesson. This is to ensure the safety of our guests and team while learning.

No, we don’t make snow while the slope is open to guests, so your children will be fine to ski down the Main Slope without needing to wear ski goggles. Other safety equipment, such as helmets, is required and will be included in your lesson fee; alternatively, you can bring your own equipment.

Warm clothing is essential for their ski lesson, especially in cold conditions. Wrapping up warm will enable them to enjoy their ski lesson fully. Wear warm, waterproof clothing and appropriate footwear, and warm socks. The rest of their equipment, the skis, boots, gloves, and helmet, all of which are compulsory, are included in the lesson fee.
