Where to go
UK indoor real-snow centres include the Snowdome in Tamworth and Chill Factore in Manchester. Many areas also have outdoor dry slopes, which are cheaper but harder to fall on.
What to wear
- Waterproof trousers and jacket.
- Gloves (often compulsory) and warm layers.
- Long socks. Boots, skis and helmets are usually provided with lessons.
Before a ski holiday
A few lessons before a ski trip mean kids can join ski school at a higher level. Compare holidays on TravelDeals, and see snow and ice days out.
