Bassingbourn Snowsport Centre -- Facilities

Our Facilities

Main slope

The Main Slope is 100m long, with a maximum gradient of 20 degrees, and has a Poma button lift to speed skiers to the top.

Training slope

The Training Slope is 45m long with a maximum gradient of 16 degrees, and has a rope tow, so beginners spend less time walking and more time skiing as their skill increases!

Night time use

Both slopes are floodlit, so that they can be fully utilised during the Winter months.

Club house

There is a large Club house for kitting-up, along with a rest area with comfortable seating and tables - and a shop selling tea, coffee, Tuck Shop snacks and cold drinks. The kitchen includes a microwave so that can be used to heat food.

The Club is also open to non-Members on Sundays and one hour group taster skiing lessons are available to get you going, but because of its Military Location you must book in advance. Click on the links to find out how!
