Anybody know what the Knockhatch dry ski slope is like in terms of the actual ski surface and for children’s lessons

@NickyJ, it’s a pretty small slope but is good enough for children lessons - they have a separate area for the lessons so you don’t have to worry about other skiers.
My niece learned at Knockhatch and she was skiing reds on her first week away so I’d say that was a pretty strong endorsement!

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

@Handy Turnip, good to hear. Similarly this is for my Niece and nephew. They just had their very first lesson over at Snowtrax but they don’t live locally. They are slightly closer to that one that the one at Tunbridge Wells.

@NickyJ, I’ve skied both Knockhatch and Snowtrax, and the quality of the slopes is very similar (although Knockhatch is generally a smaller set up).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@NickyJ,
When you say Tunbridge do you mean Bowles? It's a nice place with some lovely people there, but it's Dendix so not ideal for kids to learn on.

That’s the place - actually where I learned 1 or 2 <cough> (30+) years ago. It isn’t the SAME dendix as then is it???

@NickyJ, @musher, The nursery slope at Bowles is carpet like Knockhatch -- so just as safe. The main slope is Dendix --- which provides a better skiing surface once you are getting past snowploughs...

Knockhatch is a good little set up. We went there to get our "ski legs back" before a trip the other year and we were the only ones on it! Perfect. It has a very good ski shop there also!
