Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, wondering if anyone here has experience with skiing at CopenHill?
I'll be staying in Copenhagen from September to December, and I’ll only be approximately a 10 minute cycle away from the “hill”. Their week-day annual pass seems fairly good value at ~£170 and I quite like the idea of a post-work ski in the evenings.
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been! Does it feel a long enough slope to get some decent turns done? Do you think one could go regularly without getting bored etc?
Also as a side question, will I completely wreck my skis if I were to take them on a dry slope such as this regularly? Or will they just need regular tune-ups as they would on snow?
Cheers!

@Froguin, Not been to Copenhill, but a regular dryslope user..... The hire skis at dryslopes tend to be aimed at beginners and will be somewhat blunt. Providing you keep your skis sharp and waxed they should not come to too much harm. It's a big slope, for a dryslope - but very small compared to the mountains, so you may want to consider a project to occupy you whilst there... lessons, race training, learn to tele.....

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

No it’s not worth bringing skis - just use the ones they have on Copenhill - The mats can seriously hurt your bases

CopenHill's great for a quick ski fix. Slope's short, but perfect for after-work laps. Regular tune-ups will keep your skis in shape. £170 for a week-day pass is a steal, enjoy!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Depends how much you value your skis. When my daughter was racing I insisted on separate sets for artificial slopes as was fed up with the cost of replacing top of the range FIS skis ruined by the mat.

Thanks all for the thoughts. Thinking it might be worth finding some well loved twin tips and trying to learn to do rails and just not worry about them too much
