Snowsports can take place any time between December and April depending on weather conditions. It is sometimes possible to ski before December and into May. Winter operating hours are normally between 9am and 4pm depending on the daylight hours.

Ski spectators are more than welcome to visit the mountain and as well as plenty of fun and fresh air you can ride the train, watch the skiers, enjoy the mountain exhibition and take a spot of lunch in the Ptarmigan Restaurant. Depending on weather and snow conditions you can also enjoy sledging in the sledge park or simply have some fun in the family fun area building an extension to the snow castle. Sledging and the snow castle are located outside the Ptarmigan Top Station within view of the Ptarmigan Restaurant. Please ensure you are dressed for winter mountain weather. Gloves, hats, warm jackets and snow boots are a must.

You can hire everything for skiing, snowboarding and sledging on the mountain including outer clothing. We require a deposit for all ski and board hire items (credit or debit card or £200 cash). Equipment should be paid for when you purchase your ski ticket at the Base Station Ticket Office. It is not possible to pre book equipment hire without booking a ski or board lesson.The only items that you can not hire are hats, gloves and goggles but these can be bought in the mountain shop. Ski Hire also offer a Worshop Service for last minute equipment adjustments or for a full service, quick edge and hot wax.
