Advantages: Great fun and keeps you fit... Disadvantages: If you've got no balance, it hurts!
MY EXPERIENCE
Well this has been something i've wanted to do since i was a kid but never have done and then when Celebrity Dancing on Ice started a couple of months ago the t.v, i got got itchy feet and wanted to have a blast at t it. Finally i managed to persuade my mates to come with me for a laugh, we drove over to Tamworth to the Snowdome one saturday afternoon. Just the four of us went. Two of my friends and my friends 5 yr old son.
Well we ... ...Just getting on the ice was hard enough, then we had to cross from one side to the other to get to the mini rink in the middle,which is for begginers while people were racing past on the chikane. The Ice track as a whole is a 250 metre radius. Within that is a mini rink, a large rink and a surrounding chikane. The mini rink is a great size because if you really can't get your balance and fall over you can just crawl to the side to get back up! The ...

I was invited by a supplier, EasyNet, to the Snow Dome in Tamworth for a full day of skiing, snowboarding and Adrenaline Tubing. Being an IT Consultant with a couple of large projects ... ...Anyhow, I cross country ski and have never been downhilling in my life, nor snowboarding. Today was going to be a bit of a challenge; I had the confidence of knowing I could balance on snow and skis, but knowing full well that I had no techinque for downhill it was going to be a battle of wills. Would my over-confidence and desire to go fast mean that I went hell for leather and guessed I might pick it up on the way down, or join the teaching groups ...

Advantages: Great range of Activities Disadvantages: It's cold and you may well get bruised......
My family & I recently visited Tamworth Snowdome to try our hand at tobogganing. Yup, that’s right, the snowdome isn’t limited to skiing and snow-boarding, it also offers such delights as ice skating, and, for the more daredevil amongst you, tobogganing and adrenaline tubing.
Adrenaline tubing consists of sliding down a specially designated area of the slope in a big rubber ring with handles. There are certain times allocated for ‘baby and toddler ... ...let your kids run wild on that!! After a spot of initial research (check out the snowdome website at www.snowdome.co.uk) our group (which consisted of 8 people ranging from 18 to 48 years old, all complete beginners) decided to go for the tobogganing, as it looked, and sounded, slightly safer!!
You need to call and book in advance - each tobogganing session lasts half an hour (but seems like much longer!) and costs £7 for adults and £5 for kids. ...

Advantages: The great level of skiing and the pleasant staff who will never mock you if you make a mistake. Disadvantages: I can't think of any.
The Snowdome is an indoor ski slope which uses real snow and is situated in Tamworth in the West Midlands. The building has just one very large slope inside and the atmosphere is moderated to that the snow doesn't melt. The snow is also churned up twice a day so that it is like fresh snow. The atmosphere is in general great.
There are restrictions to going on the slope though. You can't go on unless you can do certain things (simple things like ... ...very high standard of teaching and at a very reasonable price. I learned before I went on a ski holiday with my friends and found that I knew quite a lot of it before we even set off to ski.
The place is not hard to get to but as it is in the middle of the country may be hard to get to from the far north or south. However it is definately worth visiting if you are around or near it because it is a fabulous place. If skiing isn't your thing and you ...
