Icon   Skiing in the UK   - Overview

Ok, so the UK has the latitude for snow, but that pesky warm Atlantic current Oh yes, and although there are quite a few hills and mountain ranges dotted around they're a bit height-challenged compared to those in mainland Europe. However, it's not all doom and gloom as there are areas on this mild island where there's enough of the white stuff to some skiing. This page shows all the areas where, weather permitting, you can ski on real snow outdoors, along with the number of indoor slopes that have been developed, and let's not forget the hundreds of artificial slopes that can be found.

REAL SNOW


It's not as reliable as mainland Europe's and it's often a bit wet and windy, but there are a number of areas in the UK that are geared up for skiing and snowboarding. The main ones are in Scotland but there are a number of smaller areas in England as well.
