Snowboarding · Slope Pass
The slope
is yours.
Reached recreational standard? Then clip in, ride on your own terms and own every run. Open practice sessions for improvers and regulars – plus check out our Annual Lift Pass Membership that unlocks unlimited riding and member perks all year round. All-weather Proslope, seven days a week.
Recreational riding
Ride free.
Get seriously good.
Once you’ve hit recreational standard, the slope opens up. Come and use it unsupervised, lap after lap, putting everything you’ve picked up in lessons into real, repeatable practice – at your own pace, on your own lines.
Riders who session regularly see it pay off fast: sharper edge control, smoother turns, better fitness and a whole lot more confidence. The more you ride, the more it clicks.
Every session runs on our all-weather Proslope, so you’re never waiting on snow, season or sunshine to get out there.

The recreational standard
Earn your freedom.
Recreational sessions are unsupervised, so for everyone’s safety there’s a standard to reach first. Tick these off and the main slope is all yours.
Need to level up first? Book a course or a private session and we’ll fast-track you to recreational standard. See all snowboarding.

Slope Pass FAQs.
Three things: you can diagonal side-slip on both your heel and toe edge, you can brake and come to a controlled stop, and you can use the main slope lift on your own. Tick those and you’re cleared to ride recreationally. If you’re not there yet, a few lessons will get you over the line.
Long sleeves, long trousers, gloves and clothes you don’t mind getting a little grubby. It’s an outdoor slope, so dress for the weather on the day. Gloves are available at reception if you forget yours.
Sessions run whatever the weather – in fact the Proslope surface rides even better when it’s wet. Just bring waterproofs and you’re good to go.
