Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Sheffield Ski Village

Looks like there could be some hope for the Ski Village. I really hope this happens, loved my time up there.

I never skied there but did plenty with the kids: tobogganing, sliding down on rubber rings, a decent play area, ten pin bowling.

The trouble is, while I'd love it to be a success, it wasn't last time and the market's more difficulty now. I don't see as yet, what the radical improvement is in these plans. I didn't feel it was badly run before, certainly not badly enough to require quite so many fires.

Saw this on BBC Look North last night. Used to spend a bit of time there always enjoyed it better than a fridge. Would be pleased to see it re-open. The article last night said there would be more details on tonight broadcasts.

Also try this for more details but you'll probably need a login http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshire/news/2013849-developer-announced-22.5m-ski-village?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Yorkshire_29th_Nov_2017_Daily

@martinm, in a tube air is blown at you from below which keeps you off the ground while you try to avoid cannoning into the sides. A small child can try something similar with a leaf blower in a shower cubicle although my kids were underwhelmed.

Oops, that would be indoor sky diving, not ski diving. Ski diving is much more extreme.

As a world class cynic who has spend the last 5 years watching smoke rising from the hill where the ski village once stood - "I will believe it when I can ski on it..."

Their website is full of hot air - and no specific mention of a ski slope ?
(Although this is mentioned in lots of the other articles online...)

@stevew, Be good if it happens but I doubt it, not on a large scale anyway. Its a really run down area and certainly needs some investment but i'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime i'll not be holding my breath!

I'm afraid to say I'm a bit underwhelmed. A sky bar and a luxury restaurant? Where do they fit in with what is essentially an outdoor pursuits centre?

Quote:
"Facilities operator Continuum Attractions, which runs the Emirates Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, York's Chocolate Story and tours of the Coronation Street set, is also working on the project."


So no real experience of operating something similar.

I really hope this works, it would be incredibly convenient for the family, but this vision doesn't inspire me with confidence.

I agree and the access to it always made it feel tucked away in a bit of middle of nowhere. Spent many hours there back in the 90's and would be nice to see it up and running again.

The "extreme sports company" can't even spell their "extreme sports" - the word's "abseil". Not really a sport, is it?

It needs a decent link to the M1 before it will be financially sensible. It takes ages to get to where it was from the M1. Both the competitors are within a couple of miles of a junction.

maybe your taking the wrong junction? I drive past it everytime I visit family in that area & its only 15mins off the motorway.

To be fair, wasn't exactly ever the easiest place to find, and not straight off the Mway like Chill Factore (say), but not too bad as long as you didn't hit Parkway or central Sheffld in rush hour or Friday afternoon or when the Blades or Owls were playing at home or... Well, yeah, not 100% easy to get to if you weren't reasonably local. (Then again, long Mway drives and the constant M60 roadworks, rush hour in Glasgow, the M62 when busy... They all have their downsides.) But it was a great site nevertheless and still has great potential.
