Skiing and snowboarding lessons on real snow!

Wrap up warm!

On Monday a group of our students took part in skiing and snowboarding taster sessions at Manchester's Chill Factore, which is an indoor ski slope only 40 minutes drive from UCLan and at 180 metres long it is the UK's longest indoor real snow slope.

Students on the beginners slope

The group split into 4; snowboarders, absolute beginner skiers, some who had skied before and more experienced skiers.  The experienced skiers went off to enjoy the UK's longest indoor real snow slope and the rest stayed on the beginners slope to learn some techniques.

Many of the students had never seen snow before so it was a real experience.  They had a great time and many of the group are now looking forward to taking a level 1 beginners lesson in January.
