The Deal

Winter sports can make the season brighter with this fun fuelled activity for anyone from the age of four.

All under 16s must wear a helmet, which can be borrowed free of charge.

• £5 for one person (57% off)

The Merchant

As part of the Active Nation charity, the winter wonderland at Alpine Snowsports Centre provides a place in which a traditionally pricey sport is accessible to everyone. Home to three floodlit dry slopes, this ski and snowboarding training centre has seen the UK’s top racers glide the hills, and the staff have worked alongside top professional skiers. The slopes cater for all abilities, whether beginners who want to build their confidence on their skis or seasoned snow bunnies who can improve twists, turns and jumps with the advanced courses. For wiped out slope shimmiers, a snack and licensed bar provides on-site refreshments.
