Covid Lockdown Update. We planned to open Ski-Allenheads when permitted this season, however the move to a national lockdown on 5/1/21 means that we must now remain closed until restrictions are eased.
The return to snow sports at Ski-Allenheads during the COVID-19 situation is going to be different and challenging. It will need co-operation and courtesy from everyone, however skiing and snowboarding will be possible this season following guidance from Snowsport England .
Important Information for Members visiting Allenheads
- A sign in sheet for track & trace will be at the main ski hut.
- There will be no on the day loan of skis, snowboards or boots this season as it is not practical or safe to sanitise these – please bring your own.
