Brush up your skills or get back skiing or snowboarding! As everyone might have a bit more time on their hands right now, it is the perfect time to get back onto the slope. At Chill Factore, our ski lift pass gives you the opportunity to perfect your skills down the UK’s longest indoor real snow slope.
If it’s your first time skiing or snowboarding, check out our lessons offering. Or check out the minimum standards that you need to meet to be able to ski or snowboard on our Main Slope.
Remember that your lift pass includes boots, skis, poles, or a snowboard and a helmet! To see more information on things to know before you arrive, see our things you need to know section
What are the minimum requirements to use the Main Slope on a Lift Pass?
Lift Pass requirements
In order to use your lift pass here at Chill Factore there are minimum standards, we ask that you:
- Wear the correct clothing.
- Wear a Helmet
- Can control your speed and direction.
- Stop safely.
- Are comfortable with variable piste conditions.
- Can link your turns.
- Are able to use the button lift without assistance.
If you’re not sure you meet all of the above requirements or need access to our beginner slope, it is best to book a Ski or Snowboard Lesson (only Chill Factore lessons can access our beginner slope) for more guidance before getting a lift pass. If you are missing these requirements and go on a lift pass you will be asked to leave the main slope for your’s and others safety and your pass will not be refunded.
While we recommend wearing a mask in an indoor environment, this will be your personal choice and will not be mandatory for guests or for our team. We ask that you respect each person’s own decision, and we will continue to provide a safe and clean environment for you to fully enjoy your visit.

Is there an Event on which will affect the Main Slope?
From time to time we run exciting events on our slope, from freestyle competitions to race competitions.
When we run these events we sometimes restrict the slope access, which means only a certain amount of the slope will be available to use for Lift Pass users.
In the next 2 weeks we will be restricting the slope access on:
Events that will affect the Main Slope:
- Tuesday 28th November - Due to GCSE Assessment Sessions the Main Slope will be closed from 4PM & Race Training will not be running.
- Christmas Day - We’ll be closed all day!
- Tuesday 6th February - Due to GCSE Assessment Sessions the Main Slope will be closed from 4PM & Race Training will not be running.
Terrain Challenges:
- Terrain Challenges** run Thursday, Friday and until the 28th October on Saturday’s, which will mean that on these days moguls or freestyle features will be on the slope, but available for everyone to use. Check out the Terrain Challenges page to see when the features will be out and when.
*Please note that due to the nature of the events they may run over the allotted timings above.
** Are you already a competent rider, but have never done Freestyle or Moguls before? Do you feel like you want to push yourself but need some tips and tricks to help give you a push?
Check out our Give It a Go challenges, where you can get tips and tricks from our talented instructors to take your skiing or snowboarding to the next level.
