Skiing · Slope Pass
The slope
is yours.
Reached recreational standard? Then click in, carve on your own terms and own every run. Open practice sessions for improvers and regulars – plus add an Annual Lift Pass Membership that unlocks unlimited skiing and member perks all year round. All-weather 110m Proslope, seven days a week.
Recreational skiing
Ski free.
Get seriously good.
Once you've hit recreational standard, the whole slope opens up. Come and ski it unsupervised, run after run, turning everything you picked up in lessons into real, repeatable practice – at your own pace, on your own lines.
Skiers who session regularly see it pay off fast: sharper edge control, smoother turns, better fitness and a whole lot more confidence. The more you ski, the more it clicks.
Every session runs on our all-weather 110m 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.

Slope Pass FAQs.
You’ll need to side-step up and down both sides, hold a straight schuss and make a snow plough; snow plough glide, brake and stop; link several snow plough turns down the main slope; and use the main slope lift on your own. Tick those and you’re cleared to ski recreationally. 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. We recommend a helmet too – gloves and helmets are available at reception if you need them.
Helmets are strongly recommended for everyone and are mandatory whenever you’re using the jumps or freestyle equipment. You’re welcome to bring your own or grab one at reception.
Sessions run whatever the weather – in fact the Proslope surface skis even better when it’s wet. Just bring waterproofs and you’re good to go.
