FAQS.

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

Your first ski lesson will be all about getting to grips with the equipment and learning the basics on beginner-friendly terrain. The beginner stages include how to wear skis, move and walk on them, turn and stop. Check out our blog to learn more about how many ski lessons a beginner needs.

Your first snowboard lesson is pretty similar, focused on understanding the equipment, how to stand, balance, and move on the board. Ski or snowboard, you will be under the guidance of a qualified and experienced instructor who will make sure you love it as much as they do. 

To get the most out of your skiing time, you will need to wrap up appropriately. It's essential that you wear warm, waterproof clothing, including a jacket, trousers, warm socks, and a helmet. Your helmet, boots, ski, and snowboard equipment are all included in the price of a lift pass or lesson, or you can bring your own if you have them! Gloves are compulsory for all snow activities.

You can hire waterproof trousers and jackets from us if you need to, whilst gloves and warm socks can be purchased if you don’t have your own. Check out our guide on what to wear for indoor skiing to learn more.

Safety of all our guests is always at the top of the agenda, and for that reason we insist on a beginner taking lessons before heading onto our Main Slope. For your own safety and for the safety of other slope users, guests purchasing a Lift Pass for the Main Slope must be able to meet our minimum standard of being able to:

  • Control speed and direction
  • Perform controlled linked turns
  • Stop when required
  • Use the button lift unassisted

If you're not already at this level, you'll need some tuition, but don't worry, a few Group Lessons or Private Lessons with one of our instructors and we'll get you skiing or snowboarding in no time. 

Or why not come along for a fun snow session, with no experience necessary, why not try a Ringo Slide Session - great fun for the whole family, from 4 years and upwards.

All of our lift passes include essential equipment, such as skis, boots, poles, and helmets; however, additional clothing, including warm jackets, trousers, and gloves, can be purchased separately. Gloves and socks are mandatory and can be purchased for £12 together or £6 individually, whilst jackets and trousers can be hired for £7 per item or £12 for both.
