Introduction to Skiing

Learning to ski is fantastic fun and very rewarding. In most of Britain we don't get much snow so we've sorted out this cool skiing experience at SnowDome, the UKs top real snow centre. It's perfect for complete beginners, whether you just want to try out something new or whether you want to get some practise in before going on holiday. First your instructor will run through the safety requirements, then it's your go - try out some basic moves and techniques before going down the slope, and back again. We suspect you'll have a really exciting time and this experience could even signify the start of a life-long love of this amazing sport.
