Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Woolwich Barracks Dry Ski Slope
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi Snowheads -

Does anyone have any photos of the dry ski slope which used to be in WOOLWICH BARRACKS, Repository Rd, London SE18 4BH?

I'm looking for anything that shows it in general use. And I'm specifically interested in the summer sports scheme that was run there in conjunction with Greenwich Council, where local young people were taught to ski. Ideally taken between 1981 and 1985.

The slope was demolished in the 90s.

I'm writing a presentation on diversity in ski-ing and would love to be able to refer to this, especially as I still live locally.

It follows something I did for GB snowsports a while back https://gbsnowsport.com/melanin-on-the-slopes/.

You would not believe how hard it is proving to find photos - I've contacted everyone from the Royal Artillery Museum to the Ski Club and GB Snowsport - even FOId the MoD / DCMS etc and everyone has drawn blanks!

Many thanks

and fingers crossed

I actually skied there, a few times, during that period but sorry, no photos.

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

I learned to ski on the dry slope at Bassingbourn barracks in Cambridgeshire in the late 80’s, and being Army site all vehicles were searched on entry and I’m pretty sure a camera would have got you thrown out, for security reasons.

You might find some official pictures, but unlike now taking pictures was a deliberate planned act, rather than the casual daily activity it is now.
