There are actual ski tows a bit further north in the Lakes, although I think you wanty a decent car/tyres/chains/4wd/something to access them.
I used to live in sheffield and would just walk out past fullwood / lodgemoor to find a big hill, no where specific really. Had a decent hill opposit my house on which to make a little kicker. Fun times.

Years ago there used to be a ski tow out near ringinglow......if you do a google search you may be able to find out where exactly (I'm not sure how to describe it). That slope is still a good one.

I've been watching the news and weather forecasts and I'm hoping that the former is correct for once - "10 inches expected tomorrow"! - as opposed to the Met Office which only says 3 inches. I've never been boarding in the Peaks before but we're planning to head out on Saturday. Strange how it's the PEAK District and I spend so much time there, however I'm struggling to think of a really good open, long, relatively steep and fairly accessible slope to try out! We are from Mansfield/Sheffield but will probably aim for the Kinderscout / Mam Tor area.

Let me know where you are heading or if you know any good spots!
Have fun!

There's a cable car at the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath, not sure if there's any boarding there though. There's very occasionally a rope tow run by locals in the fields above Hayfield, on the western edge of the Peak District. And then there's Another World Ski & Board centre outside Halifax.
