Chill Factore - Race Training cost

A snowHead

I really enjoyed the race training sessions at Chill Factore back end of last winter and over the summer. It's a while since I've been, but the last sessions I booked I was told the pricing had been restructured and it was £99 for 3 sessions booked in advance, which didn't seem too bad for 6 hours skiing with a bit of coaching. However, I just called to book another 3 sessions and it's gone up to £150 for 3 sessions. I have to say, I'm finding that a bit hard to stomach as the coaching is very good, but it's certainly not 1:1 as the sessions are busy and usually it's a ratio of 1:15 ish.

I know membership takes 30% off the cost, but at £100 I'd need to book at least 6 sessions before it'd break even on membership, and I just haven't got the time or money to go that frequently to justify membership.

So a couple of questions for any regulars
1. Are prices seasonal (i.e. £99 in the summer, £150 in winter) - person I spoke to didn't have a clue.
2. They are really popular session, but I can't imagine everyone forks out £50/week to train there - or are they?? Am I missing something? Is there a cheaper way to do it?

I couldn't justify the cost of doing race training at CFe even at the old prices.

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

They were always £99 for 3 regardless to time of year, have been for at least 8 years.

That new price is a RIP OFF

Join a local dry slope club, £10 a session!

You need to Login to know who's really who.

@PaulC1984, Cwrtainly I would reccommend a dry slope for race training. It should be a lot cheeper than £25 per hour, but what club does it for £10 per session?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

When my lad did some it was at stoke. Not sure what it is right now as it was a little while ago

Help!!
