Funniest Snowsports memory? Off piste in Whistler. My instructor was waiting for me to come down as I reached him I went out of control too forward, the only way to save myself and not ski into him was to do a front flip so I tucked and landed just by his feet and everything turned out fine!

The word from the slopes

“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.”
“Very friendly staff. Good, clean facilities and very good prices on lessons & lift passes.”
“Very helpful staff would recommend to anyone trying to learn snow sports very down to earth people.”
“Great place, nothing negative to add. You can rent all of the equipment down to socks. Any kind of lessons available. Parking, gear store, cafe on site”
“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.”
