The snow centre
Guildford Ski Slope is a dry-slope snowsports centre on the edge of Guildford in Surrey, skiing on artificial matting rather than real or machine-made snow. It runs a spread of slopes of different lengths for lessons, recreational skiing, snowboarding and snow-tubing, and works year-round as a practical place to learn the basics or keep technique sharp between mountain trips. As an artificial venue it is weather-independent and floodlit for evening use, making it a staple for local clubs, schools and families rather than a holiday destination. The atmosphere is that of a community sports centre, with tuition at its heart. It suits beginners and improvers above all, plus freestylers using the features.
The slope
