    I have mixed feelings. Everyone is so friendly and was very easy getting boots etc.(even though we were not offered helmets) . HOWEVER, my boyfriend was very inexperienced which we made very clear, we had paid for a 1 hour private lesson and it felt very rushed. We were not taught how to do certain exercises (for example snow ploughing) we were just told to do it. As a result my boyfriend had a very bad fall and has come away with a very sore and bruised hip which meant he could not finish the lesson. Now, I know skiing can cause injuries but in this instance I felt like it could have been avoided if we were shown properly. I cannot speak for all instructors but the young lad we had is a very good skier but could work on his teaching skills.

    1st Gotherington Scouts had a great time tonight. A taster session for the novices and a more advanced lesson for those more experienced. Was booked at short notice, the reception staff were most helpful and accommodating. The instructors were awesome. Many thanks to the Ski centre!

    Kids loved it and was a good place for a day out. Remember to take gloves with you or you will have to buy them. Can get a cuppa and snack in the cafe while you are there
