Yes its not quite the same as the alps, but it was exciting anyway.

Hope you all enjoy!

Looks great fun, I can feel a visit to the in laws in Sheffield coming on :lol:

Some cool jumps there. I was mildly disappointed at how poor the snow coverage was though.

Tis true, I dont think the video does it justice really. We had been there all day so some of the snow had packed down or been skidded away, it was more the novelty factor of some real snow.

I seen a dry slope once about 15 years ago, it was just a rectangle at an angle! Since then thats how ive pictured them till now. Was amazed to see cool things like...bends! Never mind half pipes and jumps. haha

My local dryslope is just a straight line on an incline. The Ski Village at Sheffield is, to be fair, a little different from the norm.

Still no snow in Sunderland, had some at the start of last week but didn't last. Been below freezing most nights so bit of ice during the day, but no deep white stuff up this end of the country. More's the pity - you seen OUR dry slope...



Pitiful compared to Sheffield, but better than nothing, and taught me the basics back in 1991...

:-o

That looks rubbish. I doubt snow on it would make any difference tbh:

That photo brings back memories - my first time on skis was on the nursery slope on the right of the picture, March 2007. :D
