 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey all,
mixed experience today as a first timer to tamworth, have boarded for 5 years but my wife is a newbie, therefore I booked a two hour combi beginer lesson for her which she loved and did really well!!
However I had a so called two hour pass for recreational snowboarding. I counted 6 groups of learners on the slopes to both left and right of the main hill and a gap of only 5 metres to safely pass through, I saw a couple of collisons and countless near misses wih very small children on the slopes at the time.
I thought it was absoultely ridiculous and stunk of money vs quality of product/safety.
couple that with the fact I lost more then an hour as the car park flooded (an hour which i may have got another run in!!)
anyone else care to comment?
on the plus side, the process on the way in was excellent as was the snow quality.

Yes maybe, but their "definition of capacity is a lot higher then mine" and if they are taking my money they should at least give me a decent chance of doing a turn in peace!!

chuckball28, indeed - wasn't defending them chuck.... sliing and crowds are unhappy bedfellows. I give the whole month of Feb a miss for that very reason.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I agree now I know, but am sure quite a few will go expecting value for money and getting the same!

Tamworth has got worse over the last few years. Unless you pitch up for a 9am session and/or stick to the off-season, you're doomed to a cluttered slope filled with people that have no idea of piste etiquette or safety. The "instructors" are no better, quite happy to leave trails of beginners across the slope.
If you write to them to complain you'll get fobbed off.
