Slope facilities
The main slope is served by two drag lifts, suspended from the ceiling thus widening the available piste area and allowing for easier maintenance of the slope. This differs from the other centres in the UK where the lift supports are on the piste. In addition to the main slope, the centre features a beginner slope, a luge track, and dedicated snowplay and tubing areas. Other activities include Airboarding, Snowscoot and Sledging.
Alpine Street
The centre also includes a number of shops and restaurants in a themed 'Alpine Village' area. This includes the following outlets:
On the upper level of the village is The Sports Bar, and The Mont Blanc restaurant boasting slope side viewing balconies and conference/event facilities with a capacity of up to 250.
