FAQs
Who can join?
Our kids holiday camp is for ages 6 – 16 and suitable for all levels of skier. We normally only accept beginner skiers on the first day of a camp but intermediate and advanced skiers are welcome to start on any of the days.
What should the children wear?
As the children are with us all for the majority of the day it is smart to send them with clothing suitable for the weather but also plan for the weather to change. Waterproofs are always a great idea! They need to be wearing long sleeves and trousers with a pair of gloves for when they are skiing. Trainers are a sensible footwear for the afternoons activities as they will be going between tubing and other fun and games.
What food and drink do they need?
Lunch is an option between a packed lunch from home or a hot meal from the café for £5. We do supply jugs of juice and water for the children but we do recommend that children have a water bottle and also some snacks and treats for the short breaks as the day is incredibly energy consuming.
What are reasonable times to drop off and collection?
We say that drop off is 9:15am and collection is 4:30pm but we understand these times aren’t always suitable. We are on-site from 9:00am until 5:00pm so if you arrive a little earlier or slightly late your children will still be looked after. Most parents tend to arrive around 4:00pm to watch the final bit of skiing or tubing to see how the children have progressed throughout the day.
Do I need to book?
YES! our sessions do fill up quickly. To avoid disappointment please call 01782 204159 to book a slot.
How long is a session?
All of our tubing sessions last 45 mins and all equipment is cleaned between each tubing session.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUN SLOPE AND ADRENALIN TUBING?
Very simply the Fun Slope is shorter and does not require use of the lift to get up the slope. Our Adrenaline Slope has a much longer slide time and therefore uses a lift, it also slides faster! Our Fun Slope Tubing is suitable for ages 2+ and costs £7. Our Adrenaline Slope is for ages 9+ and costs £12 per person.
IS THERE AN UPPER AGE LIMIT?
NO! Anyone of any age can go tubing (so far our oldest is 81) however we remind you that it is a strenuous activity and personal levels of fitness should be assessed before participating.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Tubing is an outdoor activity and as such we recommend weather appropriate clothing. The only thing we insist is that footwear is trainer-like and is not heeled or open.
WHY IS THERE AN AGE RESTRICTION ON ADRENALINE TUBING?
Due to the use of the ski lift to get up the slope, we ask that all participants are aged 9 or above, this is to keep all participants safe around the lift area.
When are you open?
We are open everyday but our hours vary, check our home page or Contact Us page for more information. Our tubing slots are pre-defined however so you can only book on to the time slots available.
