Places to ski on england/ireland/scotland ?

It's mostly dry slope. You'd be better off staying in Spain.

There's no good skiing, but you can still get out an shred indoors/dryslopes/mountains in Scotland. Where are you going to be studying? There's quite a few places across the country so location can help us narrow it down a bit.

If you want actual skiing in England then forget it, it's only artificial places there.

Scotland has a few places to ski that can actually be pretty decent all depending on the snowfall ( it can be really shit or good and varies every year). The best places in Scotland are Cairngorm Mountain, Glenshee, The Lecht and Glencoe. We may not get tonnes of powder and may not have long runs but what we have is better than no skiing at all!

Concerning parks...it's not so great... There are plenty of rails and boxes in the indoor or artificial dryski slopes but there isn't normally much of a large park scene in the actual outdoor resorts. The resort teams are usually more focussed on making sure all the runs are skiable than worrying about making parks. Most places usually have a few rails and a few jumps but it all depends on the amount of snow we get.

If you want more info about skiing in the UK, just give me a PM i'll be happy to inform you in more detail.

Yeah... Nowhere..

here is a list of all the dryslopes in the uk -> http://www.natives.co.uk/whatsnew/dryski.htm Indoor skiing : http://www.natives.co.uk/places/snowdomes.htm And as for real snow on real mountains there are five "resorts" in scotland: glenshee, glencoe, nevis range, cairngorm mountains, and lecht. Glencoe is your best bet for a park as they have made a serious commiment to providing park skiing up north. Glenshee got a set of new boxes and rails lat year an usually make a reasonable effort on getting a form of park together. If you are looking for more "big mountain" terrian the side country of cairngorms and glencos are your best bet and if you really want to get serious serious lines pm me and i will put you in touch with a friend of mine who is one of the best ski mountaineers in scotland. There is plenty of great terrain you just need to know where to look. See my thread called "scottish big mountain skiing" for proof

Dry slopes are nothing in comparison to the mountains. I go to the Cairngorms in Scotland and lately it's been having some good seasons apparently scheduled for another and also it's dirt cheap. I pay £60 for a season pass.

xscape castleford probably has the best park set ups in the uk

It's not THAT bad guys... If he's into racing, or think he might be then dry slopes are good.. as long as theyre not fucking snowflex... Great way to improve technique.. If you're more into park, then the domes do lots of freestyle nights. I mean.. the dry slopes also do freestyle nights but it would be silly to choose that over a dome as you can get hurt easier on a dryslope.
