Could anyone who spends time at the Snow Centre here tell me how it is? I've been thinking about heading to some of their sessions, but want to know if it's worth the money first.

Considering that they've just stopped putting out a "full" park on a Friday to concentrate more on the recreational slope users and lessons, just goes to show how shit the place has become.

Personally, I'd save your money and spend a week in the Alps at a proper park, where the park crew actually have an idea on how to build stuff properly.

I hate that they have sorta given up on the the full fridays thing, hemel used to have a pretty good setup!

Until March. Their setup(s) were really odd. Some weeks it was really good and some weeks it was really bad.

It's REALLY biased for 'boarders. All of Hemel's shapers/crew/whatever snowboard and obviously build stuff more suited for them. It would be more "fair" if it was half and half...

I ride at castleford most weeks but the park there can pretty biased towards boarders sometimes too. Not too mention how hit and miss it can be to get a good setup although in fairness it's been pretty good the past few weeks and tomorrow's is a banger!

Really wanted to go, but it was before we finished for easter break and I had labs :(

Probably couldn't have gone anyway, I pulled out of the susc trip this week cos I ran out of money...
