Mission Statement: To create a winter sport centre of excellence whilst promoting community participation in recreation and sport
For over 35 years Ski Rossendale has been providing our local and wider communities across the North West with accessible winter sports facilities for all.
Constructed in 1973, the now iconic Ski Rossendale has now been fully re-opened by Ski Rossendale Ltd Social Enterprise and is looking forward to developing a centre of excellence.
Ski Rossendale Ltd Social Enterprise took over the management and development of Ski Rossendale in August 2011 and re-opened to the public on 3 September 2011. As a social enterprise with charity status we are committed to develop Ski Rossendale, giving back to the community a facility which has been used by over 30,000 people every year. With ever increasing numbers coming back to ski and snowboard, many of who are learning to ski for the first time we are assured of a successful future. All profits made will be re- invested to further develop the centre towards becoming an ‘inspired facility’ within the U.K.
For those people who love skiing and snowboarding in fresh air amongst the beautiful outdoors then Ski Rossendale is the place to be.
We are very fortunate to have a really supportive group of volunteers who give of their time and expertise, everyone passionately caring for and working towards the long term success of Ski Rossendale.
Our commitment to supporting the local community is perhaps best illustrated with our relationship to Tor View Special needs School who have been very generous towards Ski Rossendale. Our commitment to supporting their Special Olympic team with training and coaching is on going. Without Ski Rossendale Tor View would not be able to access training for their team. We are delighted and inspired with this kind of partnership.
Ski Rossendale Social Enterprise awarded the ‘Sports ambassador of the year’ by Snowsport England at the club and volunteer awards 2011.
Learn to Ski or Snowboard from as little as £62.80 for a course of 6 one hour lessons. The price includes all the equipment hire too! Alternatively book a private ‘one to one’ with one of our fully qualified Instructors and coaches.
Have a Different Birthday Party. For a birthday party with a difference try a Ski, Board or Tubing party. This consists of a session on the slope with one of these activities followed by a party with great food in our Café, all provided for £14.00 per head (minimum of 10 people)
Already a Skier or Snowboarder? Then come and enjoy a day at the centre and if you like it then perhaps you might want to purchase a monthly pass for just £35 for a Junior or £45 for an adult (including equipment hire) This enables you to have unlimited use of all slopes (excludes Sat 9.00am- 1.00pm access)
For those who have kids and want a great outlet for their energy then our ‘Kids Club’ runs on Saturday mornings. This is an extremely popular Club with kids from as young as age 4 enjoying these fresh outdoor sports.
So Ski Rossendale Social enterprise invites you to come along and learn a new sport, meet new friends and enjoy the great outdoors!
