I booked a snowboarding taster session to see what it was like. £36 quite expensive but it's real powered snow ! I arrived with my friend at the changing rooms they give you all you need warm trousers & a coat. Just make sure you bring thick gloves (ski gloves) or you can buy there for a few quid. Danny came out to greet us, nice guy and took us about on the beginner slope (10 per group) He quickly showed us how to strap into the board & showed us some techniques how to move when one foot is strapped in. For some reason me being a complete weakling, I couldn't lift the board with my foot very easily. So as we hopped up the beginner slope I became a liability oops! Danny was really nice & showed me what to do. I eventually got to slide down with immense fear ! I remembered skiing when I was younger in school with no fear doing jumps & stuff. Why is it when I hit 30, fear crippled me?! I enjoyed the session my ankles & legs hurt during the session & after. Danny said it we because I was using muscles I'm not used to. Recommend the session but if you would think you might be a Liability like me go for the private one. I'm not giving up though ! Chill Factore is a great place, ski & snowboarding shops, a skiing Travel agent & even a Nandos ! I'm sold on that. A viewing area upstairs by rock climbing if you want to watch your family & friends on the main slope with a bar too Definitely worth a try! My friend told me if you sign up to their newsletter they send out cheaper prices for lift passes. Enjoy!

Two of my nephews received a 'Ski Fun Taster' session as a Christmas present and as one of them was…read moreunder 10, needed an accompanying adult. Uncle got the short straw. They advise you to arrive in plenty of time to sort out your ski boots and get your skis fitted, so once we'd checked in at the reception desk we were instructed to head over to the equipment hire place and everything was arranged efficiently. There are lockers to keep your belongings (bring a pound coin with you). The rest of the adults in our group promptly headed to the upper level to get a decent view of the slope (i.e. get a drink at the bar / prep the camera phones so they could video us falling over). There were 10 of us, of all ages, in the session with one instructor who first spent some time teaching everyone about the different parts of the skis and other basics. Then it was on to the training slope - it's only a slight gradient and not on the main slope so you won't need to worry about other skiers whizzing past you or have to get on any drag lifts. For the rest of the session, the instructor gave us a few different basic movements to do whilst we slowly skied down one-by-one, allowing everyone to get used to balancing with two planks of fibre glass under your feet :) The boys loved it, even though one of them was rather hesitant at first and the other continually fell over as we had to side step up the slope with our skis on. As it was only a Taster session, it was obviously very basic to introduce complete newbies to skiing. I've got a feeling they'll both be wanting Beginners lessons after this! Tip: Pricing is cheaper at Off-Peak times (up to 6pm on weekdays). Peak times are after 6pm on weekdays, all weekends, Bank Holidays and selected school holidays.

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience being taught by Bill…read more Not only did he shout at me constantly when I was just a beginner, but he made racist comments about people we drove past. I'm sad to have given any money to Bill, and I don't think the way he talks to or about people is acceptable in this day and age. He bragged to me about pulling another of his female students' headscarves off her. On top of this, he was repeatedly unprofessional. Several times he was late to pick me up or cancelled at very short notice with no apology or explanation. When I refused to continue lessons with him, he would not give me a refund for the 6 lessons I had already paid for. I have since passed my test with another instructor and realised how bad learning with Bill really was.
