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.

But you can in Tignes for about £28 for 5hrs-plus on about 20km of snow at the moment
