Campaigners Fight For Dry Ski Slope To Be Rebuilt at Sheffield
Published : 23-Mar-2025 07:10
A group of campaigners are hoping that Sheffield City Council and site developers can be persuaded to rebuild a dry ski slope on the site of the former Sheffield Ski Village.
The Ski Village, which was located in the city's Parkwood Springs, was one of the later British dry ski slope developments, opening in 1988, but rapidly grew to be one of Europe's largest. It was a hotbed for the development of freestyle skiing talent with six young skiers and boarders who learned their skills there going on to represent Great Britain at the Winter Olympics and in some cases win world class competitions. It was destroyed by repeated arson attacks from 2012 onwards.
