Snowbody does it better!

It’s four years since The Snow Centre, North London welcomed the first skiers and snowboarders to enjoy the closest real snow to the centre of London.

This May Bank Holiday The Snow Centre is celebrating their fourth birthday with what they promise will be ‘a sn-occasion to remember!’

The Snow Centre’s birthday bash will see visitors experiencing the slopes as the snow falls for the first time since they opened in 2009.   ‘It’s a unique chance to enjoy the UK’s freshest powder on our slopes and enjoy skiing or snowboarding through the falling snow,’ says MD Ian Brown.

Monday 6^th May has all the makings for a great FREE family day out.

You’ll be able to explore the piste basher at close quarters and grab a picture of yourself in the driving seat or have a bash at freestyling for free in the temporary outdoor snow park!

There will be free birthday cake, free hot chocolate in the Schuss Bar on the slopes, a chance to snap up a bargain in the summer ski, snowboard and boot sale and a mass balloon race with the chance to win some fantastic prizes.  Games, face-painting, a treasure hunt and competitions will make Bank Holiday Monday (May 6^th) a day action-packed with snowy fun
