 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thinking of going Skiing tomorrow and wondered where everyone would recommend on a Saturday morning, or is it best to avoid a saturday morning as we dont want it to be too busy!
We went to Manchester in the afternoon the other week and the slope was in an awful condition and dont want to experience that again so whichever one we go to we'd get there for when they opened.
Any thoughts or advice would be great
Thanks in advance

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

went to manchester 22nd April and the top of the slope was just ice along with the bottom and the rest of the slope really wasn't in a better condition, plus there was a group of people that was obvious they had never skied in their lives but were allowed on the slopes with no instructor, everyone was shocked they weren't taken off the slope plus they kept stopping the lifts contantly because they couldnt use them!

slikedges, It is worth checking whether there are any races planned at indoor slopes though, I have seen people get a bit of a strop on when they find out they can only use half the width.
That was why I asked which day emsie had been to Manchester, there were races on the 23rd and 24th that chewed up the snow quite a bit.

Bit late but given a choice on a Sat morning I'd prob go to Manchester (I wouldn't, I'd go to Tamworth 'cause its local...but you get my point). Let us know where you ended up and your honest opinion on it!

That's what I call commitment! I struggle to get motivated enough for a 25 min drive to MK.
