Meet Our Instructors

Simon Ellis

What skill do you teach? Skiing

What qualification(s) do you have? IASI Level 1

When was your first Snowsports experience and where? I had my first ski lesson at Hillingdon dry ski slope many moons ago, loved it and got hooked straight away

What’s the best thing about being an instructor at The Snow Centre? The ski centre is the next best place to being in the mountains, with a really great team who love snowsports and want to share their enthusiasm.

One single tip you would give to anyone taking part in Snowsports… You will never regret the time you spend on snow, go as often as you can.

Best Snowsports memory... So many to choose from, but possibly skiing from the top of Whistler mountain to the bottom in one go with a local guide at a zillion miles an hour!

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.”
