Lift Passes for Skiing & Snowboarding
Hourly Slope Lift Passes
If you are an experienced skier or snowboarder, why not enjoy your
time on the main slope with no hassle, interruptions, and at a time that
suits you? You can ski or
snowboard for 1, 2, 3 or 8 hours with our ski lift passes. You can even ski or snowboard all month with a Monthly Lift pass.
Brush up your skills or get back skiing or snowboarding! As everyone might have a bit more time on their hands right now, it is the perfect time to get back onto the slope. At Chill Factore, our ski lift pass gives you the opportunity to perfect your skills down the UK’s longest indoor real snow slope.
If it’s your first time skiing or snowboarding, check out our lessons offering. Or check out the minimum standards that you need to meet to be able to ski or snowboard on our Main Slope.
Remember that your lift pass includes boots, skis, poles, or a snowboard and a helmet! To see more information on things to know before you arrive, see our things you need to know section

Is there an Event on which will affect the Main Slope?
From time to time we run exciting events on our slope, from freestyle competitions to race competitions.
When we run these events we sometimes restrict the slope access, which means only a certain amount of the slope will be available to use for Lift Pass users.
In the next 2 weeks we will be restricting the slope access on:
Events that will affect the Main Slope*:
- Christmas Day - We’ll be closed all day!
- Tuesday 7th January - Due to GCSE Assesements the Main Slope will not be available from 4:30PM
- Tuesday 11th February - Due to GCSE Assesements the Main Slope will not be available from 4:30PM
Terrain Challenges:
- Freestyle/Moguls** run on Thursday & Fridays which will mean that on these days moguls or freestyle features will be on the slope, but available for everyone to use. Check out the Terrain Challenges page to see when the features will be out and when.
*Please note that due to the nature of the events they may run over the allotted timings above.
