Set in acres of woodland at Warmwell Holiday Park, this is one of the most picturesque slope settings, nestled in the South of England. The slope is 110 metres long by 23m wide and has a quality integrated kicker with steep landing and built-in quarterpipe which in previous years has staged the British Dryslope Championships.

Nevis Range, also known as Aonach Mor, is Scotland's newest and most modern ski area, located next to Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. It was opened for the 1989-90 season. Lifts include the UK's only quad chair and six-person gondola, the latter giving it that 'Continental feel', although spectacular views over the West Coast are very Scottish.

Snow Factor in Braehead, was the third and final indoor slope to be built by Xscape and was part of a £500m project to redevelop the 200 acre site near Glasgow. The complex has since been taken over and rebranded Soar at Braehead, and is situated just off the M8 at jct 26.

World class resort with one of the largest ski areas, summer ski areas and maximum verical drops to be found anywhere.

It is easy to reach the main slopes from most points in the resort.

Tignes shares the huge and wonderful Espace Killy with Val D'Isere, but the underground funicular accessed Grand Motte glacier officially belongs to Tignes.

For eight months a vertical drop of 1400 metres is maintained, with the aid of snow-making if neccessary.

The Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead is the most recently opened indoor slope in the UK and a BASI recognised Centre of Excellence. It is the closest slope to London, situated just 5 minutes from Junction 8 of the M1 and 10 minutes from Junction 20 of the M25.
