Prince Edward will open the Norwich Ski Club in Trowse, Norwich, on 7 October. The slope has been fully upgraded and re-designed to include a second ski slope, a fun park with jumps and quarter pipe, the re-covering of the existing nursery slope with a safer surface, and "five new lifts", according to this report by edp24.co.uk.
Can someone local confirm that number of new lifts? Also, has Prince Edward been seen on a pair of skis? If not, maybe he could be given a beginner's lesson on the day (or a run in the fun park, if he's a ski dude).

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

David Goldsmith, Some years ago a good friend of mine was chalet host to Prince Edward in St Anton - a story she never stops telling. Somewhat amusing given that there were few security checks on her. He skied every day with friends ( pre-Sophie) although allegedly missed out on the nightlife - preferring a game of cards in the chalet and a few drinks.

My brother's girlfriend does a bit of instructing at Norwich so I'll ask her about the new set-up there.
My only memory of the place is from about 20 years ago when, on a pre-school trip, learn to ski course, I had incredible trouble staying on the narrow strip of matting for the drag lift. I don't think I made it to the top once.

I am a instructor at the Norwich Slope and there are five new lifts + the existing Pom. The new lifts are all travellators( conveyor belts) you can see more details at http://www.norfolkskiclub.com/ . This weekend the slope is host to the All England Ski Championships.
