Dry slope
Stoke-on-Trent · Staffordshire · UK
Staffordshire’s premier dry ski centre in Festival Park, featuring a 160m main slope with a permanent wave/mogul field and dedicated pro shop.
Positioned within Stoke-on-Trent's Festival Park leisure district, this Staffordshire slope features a permanent sculpted wave and bump bank along its 160-metre main Dendix run. The contoured terrain forces intermediate skiers to work on rhythm and dynamic pressure control, supported by a separate nursery slope, freestyle jump nights, and a full-service ski pro shop.
