Poster: A snowHead
|
I spent the day yesterday skiing at Norfolk Snowsports Club (an SSE assessment rather than recreational skiing) and had a great time.
They've got a fantastic well-maintained slope with all sorts of terrain from beginners through long main slope right up to moguls and kickers; loads of space; and pleasant club house and bar. Most of all it was how welcoming they were to me as a visitor that made my day - a proper club atmosphere.
Norwich is a long way from pretty much everywhere, but if you're in the area it would be well worth popping in to have a ski.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Coming from Cambridgeshire, it's by comparison remarkably hilly!
And although Norfolk is somewhat deficient on hills, they seem to have found a pretty good one for the ski slope, and made a lot features out of that one hill.

TJ Baldwin started at the Norfolk club when he was 6. Was constantly warned for straight lining it down the slope! Now races World Cup DH & SG for Team GB and hopefully will go to the Winter Olympics. The best dry slope in the UK without a doubt. Best clubhouse and cheapest beer!
altis, Come down and try the moguls and fun park. See what you think.

Easily the best slope I have been to in the UK.

Proud to have made my first ever turns there back in the day, always was a well run club and as helpers in the 'equipment hut' we had a key to get in early on 'powder days' (and nights!).

Great to meet you and really pleased you enjoyed the day and congratulations on passing the assessment. Hope Bassingbourn manage to get their slope issues sorted soon.
