Dry slope
Christchurch · Dorset / South Coast England · UK
The South Coast’s premier dry ski centre, featuring a 110m Proslope main run, progressive freestyle terrain park, and an alpine adventure playground.
Tucked among the pine forests of Dorset near Bournemouth Airport, Snowtrax has earned a dedicated following across the South Coast for its modern Proslope main piste. The synthetic surface provides consistent slide speed for beginner progression and short-turn carving drills without harsh friction burns. A vibrant freestyle park featuring progressive rail boxes sits alongside an authentic timber alpine pub and an extensive outdoor pirate-themed adventure park.
