Jon Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I have always wanted to try skiing has anyone had lessons at the ski village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I have taken my kids and they have had lessons, the staff are very helpful. I can ski, coz I did it when I was at school. Its good fun once you get the hang of it, but it is quite expensive to have lessons. Give it a go, avoid learning in the winter months, as it gets packed with people going on their holidays.

max Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I was given lessons as a Christmas present and managed to learn sufficient to ski down the basic slope, the one on the left looking at the slopes. Unfortunately, the last time I went there was some serious pollen and I got severe hayfever which kept me sneezing and I kept falling and eventually I got bored with crawling to the edge of the piste. I may go back and complete the course but am a bit wary. Otherwise, it was well run and the instructors were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should be wearing a NBC suit and respirator while you're up there http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/nbc/remploy/ Only available in camouflage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgitben Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 You might find its just a normal dump, by law it is illegal to have any public buildings or centres within about 2 miles and England only produces a tiny amount of Nuclear Waste every year, of which none is made in sheffield - get your facts right before trying to taint a companies image. Im a member @ the ski village and think its great, abit expensive but worth it...plus cheaper than that new place in Castleford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a member @ the ski village and think its great, abit expensive but worth it...plus cheaper than that new place in Castleford. A normal dump, you assert? OK, let me check my facts, as you requested: Dumped on us - everyone’s toxic waste http://www.burngreavemessenger.org.uk/messenger/february2002/dumped.shtml Study examines landfill effects on health http://www.burngreavemessenger.org.uk/29mar03/landfill.htm Campaign to close Parkwood Landfill gathers momentum http://www.burngreavemessenger.org.uk/messenger/april2002/parkwood.shtml If 20 tonnes of highly poisonous fly ash per day is your definition of a normal dump, I'd hate to experience how you define 'toxic waste'. Maybe you should speak to the good people at the Parkwood Landfill Action Group: http://www.shefinfo.org.uk/parkwood/ Back to your allotments now Grandad...and tell the nurses to increase your medication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
