After an investment of £23 million and two years in the making, Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre will finally open its doors to the public on May 6th 2009.
Following the landing of 500mm in the Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre, conditions on the slopes expected to keep the powder in shape pretty much forever!
Boasting a 160 metre slope, along with a nursery training slope of almost 100 metres, it will be similar to other indoor skiing uk snow centres, but a much closer outlet for skiers in the South East.
There’s no better way to get ready for ski holidays on the slopes than to take the professional ski lessons offered at places just like the Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre.
They’ll also be their own version of Après-ski, with bars located close-by that give the perfect panoramic view of the action.
Sure, snow centres like this aren’t close to the real thing, but if you haven’t skied before, it’s a really good opportunity to get some practice in. Say you go to the Alps for a week and are a beginner, you’ll spend most of the holiday just picking up the ropes and just as you get the hang of it – you’ll be on your way home! Indoor skiing is great for getting that initial difficulty out of the way, so that you can fully enjoy the proper thing.
Do you have instruction packages for skiers testing their skills after long lay off /illness for say 3/4 people off season for say 2/3 day sessions. If so please advise deals/costs/details
