SNOWSPORT
The Snowsport centre in Pontypool Park, Torfaen, is one of the most established and respected Snowsport centres in Wales and the United Kingdom. It has been a training ground for many skiers, boarders, Snowsport teachers, coaches and racers for 50 years. At 250m long and 20m wide it is the largest outdoor slope in Wales.

What's Here
There is a main slope with a bumps run for the adventurous, ramps and rails for free-riders and boarders, a large designated beginners slope and a gentle learning section for skiers and boarders to develop control before they venture higher up the slope. A button lift serves the entire slope which after learning basic control everyone can use. An attractive wooden log cabin houses a well-stocked ski and board equipment room, a comfortable rest area with indoor spectator viewing, toilets and changing area.
We cater for all abilities of skier and boarder, from beginner to expert and freestyle and Ringo tubing. There are Open Practice sessions and ski / board lessons for adults and for children during the week and weekend. Every school holiday we offer children’s sessions each afternoon. Schools, youth groups and birthday parties are catered for with instruction, practice and tubing during the week days.
