Poster: A snowHead
|
As the title says, just wondering how busy Hemel is first thing (9am) on a Sat or Sun morning?
Tried going last weekend at 5pm on Sunday evening and it was horrendous ... so are mornings any better?

Weekend mornings are rammed, lots of kids lessons going on. Last weekend it was at capacity till early evening. Weekdays are much quieter.

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

Spyderman, thought that might be the case.
This calls for a day off work!

I was there on Monday from 13:00 to 17:00. It was pretty quiet the whole time, but the best time was 16.00 to 16.30 I think. At that point, you could guarantee a completely clear slope for every run, only had to wait a few seconds for it to clear each time! Was great fun!

A few us teach part-time at Hemel, and one member of snowHeads, gillski is head of the snowsport school.

That would have been when we all left the slope then! Its been pretty busy every morning this week and I guess weekends would be much busier.

9 onwards on a Saturday can be a bit of a gong show now as soon as the kids lessons come out as they immediately reduce lift capacity. Not the kids' fault - the lifts are just tricky for little ones unless the lifty is placing the poma in for them. Add in some courses and its a lottery.
