Took a last minute trip up on a Sunday beginning of March. Was really great! Staff could not have been nicer !!! Loads of medics on the slope (although gladly not in much action). Tow staff were all fab, patient and friendly! One of our party was a complete novice and had a lesson with the ski school and got on brilliantly! Staff in the cafe were very busy and all had smiles on their faces! Food reasonably priced and the place was packed! Think it was about 2.30 for a coffee and 3 quid odds for a beer. They also had vegan and veggie options which was good to see. No wi-Fi which didn’t bother us at all. Great atmosphere in cafe because if it! Brilliant amount of parking with attendants to guide into spaces. Queues for tickets and equipment hire moved quickly with no issues. The only thing that needs a bit of TLC was the loos.. bit tired and could do with a refurb. Overall still really good venue. A thing we missed out on was booking 48hours in advance to exploit their ‘mega deals’ of hire and lift pass as a combo... but will defo be back to do so soon! Prices generally great value for money though especially for last minute .. lesson was £30 for 2 hours for complete beginner, and about 60 quid each for lift pass and kit hire. Brilliant day all round! Thanks again x
