Tamworth Snowdome
We're heading to Tamworth snowdome this December! The snowdome is kept below and constantly refreshed with artificial snow to give you the best skiing or snowboarding experience possible without heading to the alps!
We've been working closely with our partners, Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports and TSA, and they are helping make this event awesome!
Ellis Brigham and TSA will be running a Ski and Snowboard Demo so that you can try out all of this seasons latest skis and boards before the trip. On top of this all UWE Snowsports and Off The Wall members will receive 10% off in their Bristol and Tamworth stores.
If you are into freestyle there is something to really get excited about; The Ellis Brigham Freestlyle Jam. This open session (in a micro freestlye set up) will be the perfect chance to share tips and try and throw down the best run to win some sick prizes!
Not skied in a while? Not a problem - there will be 100 UWE students of all levels getting some practice in ahead of the winter break. This is the pefect chance to sharpen your skills and make some friends ahead of the ski trip.
Participants MUST already be able to ski or snowboard to the slope's minimum safe standard "This standard is the ability to use all lifts, perform controlled linked turns, control speed and direction and stop confidently."
The trip costs £25 and must be booked in advance via www.uwesnowsports.com (book early as the trip is expected to sell out).
Skis, snowboards, boots, poles and protective headwear are provided free of charge and you are welcome to use your own equipment if you wish. Protective headwear is compulsory for all snowboard lessons and slope users who wish to use the ramps and rails. Lockers are available for your personal belongings.
Participants must wear long sleeves, trousers and gloves. Warm clothes, and ideally waterproof clothes are recommended.
The meeting point for the trip will be The Students' Union on Frenchay Campus at 13:00. We are expected to return to campus between 21:00-22:00.
