Other Outdoor Snow facilities
Outdoor lifts on real snow, but they are so far South that they do not qualify for inclusion on this site.


Another World - Real Snow Centre in Yorkshire
Details:
Real snow and real lifts on the moors between Halifax and Keighley. Dry Slope. I know it's in the North but it's too far south to include here. Perhaps one day I'll go there and include it in the man bit.

Sheffield Ski Village
Details:
Huge, long dry slope, but if it snows it will be impressive... Also ski shops, pub etc. Near Sheffield
It's a long way out of area, but probably worth a visit.

Details:
A website on weird palces to ski. By including us it would appear to be suggesting that our ski facilities are something to be laughed at. I can assure you that this is not the case.
