I always go for a 2 hour session at the weekend, but start at 9:00 - it's worth getting up early and you usually get about 90 minutes of stress free skiing.
Otherwise I'd get mid morning in the week

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

If you are over 40, theres a 2 hour session on a Tuesday morning - 10.00 till 12.00, which is quiet, and comes with an instructor (its not a formal lesson - you can do your own thing if you want) and coffee for £25.

Have you seen on "Snow Events" forum, some of us are going on Friday?
You have to avoid weekends and later in the afternoon when kids start to invade (some I think go in the afternoon in school groups!) Certainly weekday mornings or lunchtime are best, or very late in the evening (after an early dinner perhaps) can be OK too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

snowball, unfortunately can't do Friday.
A midweek morning sounds like a plan.
mikeh, unfortunately I'm 30 so Tuesday morning is probably out. Would have been nice to get a bit of tuition though - especially considering the prices Xscape charge for lessons!

Doesn't MK's Freshtrax include casual instruction? At Castleford you get an instructor available for over 50s Monday mornings, Ladies on Tues mornings, and anyone on Weds mornings but it is not very well advertised that this is the case.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that there are instructors available for hints & tips during the Wednesday Freshtrax session at MK. That was the impression I got during the Dawn Chorus Lunch 'n' Slide in August, anyway! Although, as Newskier says, they don't seem too keen to advertise the fact...
jonflat2, let me know when you're thinking of going - I live in MK so I'll come & say hi if I'm around
