Used to go quite often when I lived in N'cle, view from the Alp de Wearside would put many European resorts to shame & the wind is good training too. Pretty good slope (better than Spectrum) & friendly enough.

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

Willington, Co Durham.
Dry slope is obviously different from a show shed so you pay you money (less or more) & take your pick

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Silksworth should be fine if you're beginners but if you're trying to improve to an intermediate level don't bother. My wife had some lessons a couple of years ago whilst I tried to get as many runs in as poss. Equipment was fairly good and instructor was ok. Consider going up to Hillend at Edinburgh if you want quality lessons on the dry slope to get to parallel turns standard or Sheffield.
Can't comment on any of these indoor fridges cos I've never been in one.
Spectrum at Willington is closed down now BTW.
