Yep, been a few times.
The left lift is faster!

That all-day pass is a great idea. I would think about using it if I wasn't going to Chamonix in 2 weeks 😀

all day pass in a snow-dome? I'm usually bored out of my mind in about half an hour*

Not sure what the deal is at Hemel, but the Xscape slopes have some decent freestyle nights with kickers, boxes and rails. That holds my interest. If I just went up and down the same empty slope 50 times I'd get very bored.

You can also try out all sorts of toys as Snow and Rock have a demo pool of skis and gheytreys on the ground floor.

I tend to go there for a quick reminder/refresher before going off to the slopes for real.

Yeah, it's not the most interesting slope, but it is nice to remind yourself what snow feels like before getting to the big hills.

I thought about the freestyle nights, but I reckong my boarding is of the same school as my riding. Go to the top of a big thing, and ride down it, mucking about on the way. If I accidentally get thrown into the air then fine, but "tricks"? No thank you...

I'm not sure what the deal is at Hemel but at [url= http://www.snozoneuk.com/v/scotland/activities/freestyle ]SNO!Zone Glasgow, Thursday nights is rookie freestyle[/url].

There are usually a couple of straight kickers and some rails and flat boxes.

You don't have to do "tricks" as such. But learning to ride kickers will definitely progress your boarding and may mean you can land it with style when you next get "accidentally" airborne.
