If you endlessly just go up the lift and ski straight down again then, yes, it probably would be boring. However, there are a great many things I need to improve on with my ski-ing and I find the snowdome is very good for this because you're not distracted the same way you are up a mountain - there are less variables (like the weather) to contend with.

It definitely saved me wasting a couple of hours on my ski holiday while I learnt to ski with my new boots.

Sorry Ally but how do you learn to ski again in new boots. :shock: :shock:
Why practice in a Snowdome when you can practice on a 1000 Mt vertical mountain
Ideal for a beginner or the less experienced but the trouble is I'm neither, I think I'll save my £25 and buy a beer in France :wink:

I don't know. On their website it just says 'New for January'.

Ian,
I had to learn how to ski again in my new boots because I had those special orthotic insoles and they'd done something to the canting of the boot as well to try to correct the way I stand. So it was very difficult - I had to snow-plough for about half an hour :shock:

It was a very good thing I hadn't gone straight up to the top of a mountain and tried ski-ing down a black run. I would advise everyone to be very careful ski-ing after getting special insoles and new boots like me. The snowdome was ideal for providing a safe environment for getting to grips with them.

I think if you aren't "expert" and you want to get your ski legs back before going on holiday the indoor slopes are excellent.
and £29 for as much as you like between 0900 and 1700 is good value.
I agree it can be a bit boring just up and down, up and down - but if you have new equipment to get a bit used to, or things to practice it is well worth it.
