Skiing in the UK
Guide

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.
With regards to real, outdoor skiing, well it's not as reliable as mainland Europe's and it's often a
bit wet and extremely 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.
We have a dedicated page for the UK's ski areas,

to view it.
A number of
indoor slopes
have been developed and more are in the pipeline.
