Tallington Lakes first opened its leisure facilities to the public 40 years ago, and five years later, the 120m dry ski slope was added to the growing leisure park.
The slope has now been fitted with a brand-new Proslope surface which claims to offer the closest artificial surface to mimic ‘snow-like’ conditions. Skiers and snowboarders will be able to enjoy the new surface, which includes a shock absorption layer, from November 2022.
Tallington’s outdoor dry slope offers a chance for those that want to try something a bit different this winter to get out there to give it a go, or challenge advanced freestyle and racing skiers who want a responsive, fast slope that offers a huge edge grip to hone their skills.
Team GB Snowboard Olympian, Jamie Nicholls, said: “From the first moment I rode Proslope at Snowtrax a few years ago, I instantly felt the difference. It feels more forgiving without losing any board control. Olympian legend Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards has also given the surface the thumbs up.
At Tallington, British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI) and Snowsports England instructors are on hand to teach and coach all levels from beginner to expert. Private or group lessons available.
The knowledgeable staff at the Pro Shop can help skiers and snowboarders with all their needs, particularly, ski and snowboard boots with a tailored boot fitting service.
The opening of the new surface will bring with it a host of organised racing, freestyle competitions, ski touring classes, as well as private and group ski/snowboard lessons. Not forgetting Day Courses and the Junior Snow School; at Tallington Lakes that will be something to suit everyone on the slopes. Keep an eye on their website and social media for more information.
To kick off the winter season in style, look out for the Christmas Freestyle Open Day in December (date to be confirmed).
