Features

Skiing: Guildford Ski Slope welcomes skiers of all levels—from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts—with private 1-hour lessons available seven days a week (September 1 to April 30) for groups of up to six. Beginners (age 9+) can choose between private lessons or group courses, while young children (ages 5–8) can book 30-minute junior lessons in small groups. For those with prior training, Open Practice sessions are offered on weekends (Saturdays 4:30–5:30 pm; Sundays 1:30–2:30 pm) by instructor invitation. Group lessons, tailored courses, and private sessions combine instruction, slope access, and hired equipment, all available by advance booking.
Snowboarding: Guildford Ski Slope offers two structured snowboarding options tailored for different needs. The Beginners Course unfolds over four Sunday evening sessions (1.5 hours each), in small groups of 4–6 participants, available for ages 12 and up—priced at £160. For a more flexible approach, there are Private Snowboard Lessons where individuals or small groups (up to 5 people of similar ability) get exclusive instruction on Thursday and Sunday evenings from 5:30 pm onwards; these start from £80 per hour.
Donutting: Donutting at Guildford Ski Slope lets visitors slide down the dry slope in a rubber ring with a hard plastic base—perfect for fun regardless of experience. Sessions last 55 minutes and are available as public slots on weekends (Saturday and Sunday, typically 10–11 am) or as private group sessions (exclusive use, 10–15 people). Suitable for ages 7+, with 6-year-olds allowed if part of a 7-year-old’s party, participants must wear long sleeves, trousers, gloves, sturdy shoes, and helmets for under-16s.
