Is anyone planning to be around at Hemel this weekend? I need (want) too try out my new skis and was thinking some company might be nice.

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

scooby_simon, could you give a bit more information about what that is. Is it a slalom that anyone with a lift pass can have a go at?

Jeez, £35/hour to ski in a fridge? Why does it cost almost twice as much as the (longer) Braehead slope?

swiftoid it's just basic economics. It's rarely quiet so obviously plenty of people are willing to pay that much, and given that why would they charge less? In the summer there are often cheaper deals available to keep it busy out of season.

Twice? £31.50 (booked online) at Hemel vs £26 for a single hour. Sadly Braehead's a bit of a trek for most of the populous.

My mistake, sorry. Never noticed that the £18 was 'members' price at Braehead not the walk in price. I wouldn't pay £18 either mind you.

Looks like fun. Just seen somebody snowplough down it so I guess it's not taken too seriously then.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Very much entry level.
If you can ski from the top to get to it; you can have a go.
Timing will be from 10 tomorrow; we MAY be able to go a little higher with the start gate

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Hmm, I might aim to get there around 12:00.

Lift pass booked from 12:00-15:00. If anyone's around I'm the one with a pink ski jacket, purple ski pants and Movement Gloss skis.

I gave the slalom a go today, and may have broken the course record (for the slowest descent without falling). Once was quite enough.

I really enjoyed the slalom (yesterday) - I didn't break any records in either direction, but great fun!

sugarmoma666, Glad you enjoyed it today; nice to meet another  Shame the timing gear had to come in so early; was starting to get into my stride and getting some decent speed.
finestgreen, Good ho; you will have probably met Doug and Olly yesterday.
Next weekend is Freestyle; follwed by Moguls and ski / board X.
