Only ever been at Xscape and Austria tbh, My mate's parents have a place up in Scotland where he goes snowboarding, not sure of location tbh, but he goes around January/Feb

[Scott]

Been to aviemore many a times for sledging as it far more fun:P

Aviemore is cool, some half decent pubs to. Weather is unpredicatble as funk the past few years though and no guarantee fo snow at any time of the year.

Tried Skiing lesson once on dry slope near me..... nearly ended up going down a grass hill and out in to the road.... so haven't bothered since then!

totally agree with you there scott :)

[lyndon]

Yep it is mate, pretty good too :)

[Clouds_mate]

Mmmm might scrap that idea then lol. Was just thinking a nice cheapy to pick up some more skills before i go away again.

Xscape it is lol

[lyndon]

Heh, Xscape 5 lesson program FTW

[AdamW]

Never been skiing or snowboarding.....doesnt tickle me fancy......Holiday freezing your bollocks off.....not for me

[Clouds_mate]

Dan - Xscape has some awesome little bars. Its a good night out ;)

[Clouds_mate]

I can snowboard. Just wanted a long weekend away somewhere just to get back into it before i go away again in March (i have enough days holiday)

[saxodan]

really?

Sounds good then

I thought it was a shopping centre..

[lyndon]

Nah, If you goto the one in Cas-vegas, Get in Rockies snow-bar :)

[Scott]

Better looking at the continent mate, its far from cheap to go anywhere in the UK and normally works out better value to go abroad. Get a lodge with a group of you, cheap flights and some guaranteed snow.

[Clouds_mate]

Yeh true mate.

List of nice areas to go then and local airports :d

thankyou please.

[Robb]

Bro and his mates looked at scotland, not many rave reviews though so knocked it on the head. Canada for the win.

Robb's going MK Snowdome near his birthday, tag along.

[johnny_vts]

Yes - don't advise it (v wet snow, get p*ssed wet through)
Cairngorms
Expensive, weather wasn't good.

Sticking to France/Italy/Canada/Austria/US/Switzerland in future!

[saxodan]

I had one lesson with snow boarding, fell over about 1500 times
coulden't stop

sore ass, mate threw a snow ball at me so i punched him
mum told me off, I wasnt allowed an ice cream on the way home

I hated being 8

[rushy_23]

Ah, not been scotland for skiing but Ive been to America.
Was a long time ago now but was an awesome experiance mate. Would love
to do it again.

[Clouds_mate]

I did the french/Swiss alps this year, was my first time. First 3 days battered to hell then picked it up. Was wanting another cheap break before the proper holiday next year so im not uber shit again lol

[frankie]

just go its fucking amazin

andorra is good for first timers, plus its a tax haven which is forking mint
meribel is quality expensive but the skiing and snowboard is fucking good, the best thing to do would hire a chatlet whcih lowers the cost,

end of jan early feb is the best time to, lots of snow.

[saxodan]

[Clouds_mate]

Sounds good mate, something to do on a Saturday morning or something like that dosent involve boozing lol

[Scattle]

I havn't been skiiing, but my sister went with her school 2 years ago to Colarado, said it was really good, expensive but worth it. I would love to do it.
