All
three Calshot Slopes are covered in Snowflex, a revolutionary new
surface which has no holes, is easy to ski on and softer to fall
on. All slopes have lifts, are floodlit and being inside our massive Sunderland Hangar offer an ideal learning environment whatever the weather.
After your session relax in our fully licensed bar at the bottom of the slopes.
Calshot offers the complete package for skiing, with courses, private
lessons and recreational skiing all on offer on our unique slopes.
We now have 100% coverage of the revolutionary Snowflex matting: easier to turn on and softer to fall on, with no holes to catch those thumbs!
Speed controllers on our drag lifts make for an easy start.
Our slopes are indoor AND floodlit, so we can guarantee conditions will always be perfect for your visit. Under the watchful eye of our experienced instructors, you will master the basics of the sport safely, quickly and enjoyably. Happy skiing!
