Scotland looks awesome! We should all do an extended weekend up there 
I'll put a dome trip over pretty much any activity I have planned, unless it involves the mrs  . So that counts out the 20th of this month for me. Any other time is good though! |

I was hoping to get to a fridge this month or next, but a long weekend in Scotland sounds like a much more fun idea. I propose the weekend of the 26th of March. Snow permitting  |

I've been all over the world, Ibiza, Magaluf, Blackpool etc and Tamworth was by far the best for snowsports!! It's intense man!!! You're totally gripped when you're at the top and looking down...

The problem I have with that Chris, is that I have just discovered that my entire holiday allowance in work has been used up and it only reset's April 1st. Talk about timing! So the earliest weekend i could make Scotland would be easter. Unless it was a mid-week thing |

there was an article in the evening post on the 12th of this month about plans on the indoor ski center in swansea. suppose to be where the old dry slope was,and on the other side of the road they are planning on hotels, restraunts and shops around the lake.

What do you think of the Cardiff slope? I keep meaning to go up for freestyle night but I can't be bothered with the faff of getting a recreational pass.
I was under the impression that the snowdome was being planned for Cardiff Bay - there were articles in the Western Mail about planning etc being underway.
Until then, I'll stick with Tam  . |

its the only slope ive ever been on so cant really judge, but the people there are real helpfull and a good laugh.
ive heard about an indoor cardiff center loads, and one of my old mates said there was an article on an indoor swansea ski slope, so looked it up thinking he'd got it mixed up with cardiff plans, but there was an interview with the site owner saying theres still a small chance of it being in swansea, and that he's still pushing to get it done. |

Hi guys, had my first boarding lesson last Friday (9th April) at the Tamworth Snowdome and absolutely loved it, have definately been bitten by the bug! Just wondered what the next logical step is? Have obviously picked the worst time ever to wanna learn as its the exact end of the season... |

Tamworth prices were massively reduced as of April 1st. 2 hour lessons are currently £20 and 3 hour lessons £27. |

do you have a link? i could only find 3hr lessons for £83 with 30% off which works out to £58.10 and for members 40.67, would be amazing to get 3 hours for 27 |
