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 an unlimited 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
What are the minimum requirements to use the Main Slope on a Lift Pass?
Lift Pass requirements
In order to use your lift pass here at Chill Factore there are minimum standards, we ask that you:
- Wear the correct clothing.
- Wear a Helmet
- Can control your speed and direction.
- Stop safely.
- Are comfortable with variable piste conditions.
