Sheffield Ski Village

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheffield Ski Village is an artificial ski slope complex in the Parkwood Springs area of Sheffield, England. It is believed to be the largest artificial ski resort in Europe[1] with a sports shop, bar, restaurant and a range of slopes which includes two nursery slopes, a mogul field, half pipe and quarter pipe. The Sheffield Ski Village is also one of the main training grounds for the Yorkshire Freestyle Squad and many pro-freestylers.

[edit] Sheffield Sharks Ski Club

The Sheffield Sharks Ski Club meets at Sheffield Ski Village on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings. The club was formed in 1990 to promote children's skiing, both at recreational and competitive levels. In 2004 the club became the CCPR UK Sports Club of the Year. The club is run on a voluntary basis by an elected committee of parents, with a dedicated team of instructors. Older members have the opportunity to become ski instructors themselves, and often instruct the younger children on the Saturday sessions. ^[1]

[edit] The proposed Snowdome development

A proposed £80 million development, which had been given the go ahead by the planning department, would have had one of the world's largest indoor ski areas and a mile-long cable car link from Langsett Road Supertram stop^[2]. This would have continued, via the Ski Village onto Shirecliffe^[3], an area currently suffering poor transport links. However the Ski Village went into administration during May and was bought by Pullan Developments (Selby)^[4] who have said they are not planning on developing the new Snowdome expansion plans and will instead concentrate on getting the existing business profitable^[5].

A separate proposal by Don Valley Railway Ltd to run a passenger rail service between Deepcar and Sheffield includes a new station at the Ski Village.
