Anyone been since it changed hands to Snow Factor and know how much it is per hour at weekends?
Website says from £14 per hour but guess that's for low peak times
When it was Sno Zone it was £25 per hour- that's a bit steep with holidays to save up for!!

jb1070, your review is spot on but does anyone know the answer to the OP's question ???

I went last week. £33 for two hours. I gave them feedback. At £25 in the summer I'd go regularly for exercise. At £33 I'll not be back for a while.
They were not that busy so I suspect they are pricing themselves out of it. They have lowered the temp as far as I know so the afternoon snow was pretty good. Or was that just a consequence of it being quiet.
PS good to be back folks.

Xscape Milton Keynes was only £22 for 2 hours (and very quiet) this morning so they have upped their prices a lot.

They now claim to run the snow guns every night so there is always a light covering of fresh to start the day.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Was the £33 for a peak time? I.e Friday night or Saturday? Pretty sure when it was sno zone it was pricey then but could otherwise get two hours for only a couple of quid more than one on other days, even evenings.

Was £33 on Sunday 6 weeks ago. Slope was pretty empty though the snow was a bit crappy. But was early evening. Bit expensive for summer so I won't be going back too for quite sometime.

You know it makes sense.
|
Was £19 for 1 hr or £21 for two on Friday evening - but that was for an U16, I thought that was a bit steep but since we'd driven 300 miles to get there oki skied anyhow.
Snow was in pretty good condition, not really that cut-up at all. I can believe that they've lowered the temperatures overnight: first thing on Sunday morning (7am) it was -14C!

Or a Courchevel Valley pass for £32/day or St Foy for £22/day
According to my man maths you could do a week in La Tania and spend about the same per hour on your skiing as Snow Factor.

That's shocking. Sure last time I went (think it was pre-changeover) it was £18 for an hour.
A year or so ago they were doing 2 hours for £15 during the week.
Doubt many will be willing, or able to regularly stump up those prices until it's time to get the legs back in December.
