What Can You Do Here ?
Snowboarding and Skiing
Learning to Snowboard or Ski is a fun experience and our friendly instructors will soon have you sliding. From taster lessons to advanced coaching, we can cater for individuals, families, friends, schools and groups wanting to have some fun, or those preparing themselves for a Winter holiday. Most beginners require a number lessons to reach the minimum standard to practice on our slopes. This also provides a head start before any Winter holiday as you will get far more enjoyment if you’ve got the basic skills. Taking lessons is also a great way to get in shape before your trip.
Freestyle
Freestyle is an increasingly popular part of the ski and snowboard industry and Ski Rossendale has always been a centre which people travel to from all over to hit the jump and quarter pipe, the quarter pipe being a feature which a lot of dry slopes don’t have. These features are perfect for learning new tricks and progressing abilities on a personal level. A large Fun Park with permanent kickers and rail, permanent 'bumps' on the main slope and the huge main slope quarter pipe, come and try them out.
Lessons
We offer a range of board and ski lessons for all ages from beginner to advanced. There are various options for learning or developing your skills. Start with a one off 'Taster' session, then book a course appropriate to your level. Children can be enrolled in our popular Saturday morning 'Kids Club'. Adults who want to progress further, may enrol in one of our friendly 'clubs and groups'. You may decide to take a 'Private' lesson tailored to your needs or benefit from our 'Coaching' sessions. Discuss your options with our booking office.
