Performance Days
Ski Tuning Workshops
If your skis aren’t properly tuned you won’t get the performance that you are capable of. We run ski tuning workshops from the basics of waxing and edge sharpening, through wax selection, new ski preparation, and race preparation using the latest technology from Holmenkol.
Avalanche Safety Training
The beauty of the mountains has hidden dangers. Learn about snow, what happens when there is too much and where not to go. How to be safe off piste and the danger signs the professionals look for.
Ski Servicing
Who are we?
Spindrift Snowsports was set up by a couple of friends that met teaching at Chill Factore in Manchester. We have taught all over Europe and still continue to teach and coach on the UK’s premier real snow slope. Our Instructors are highly experienced BASI qualified instructors, many of which hold the level 3 qualification which is validated by ISIA as one of the highest qualifications in the world.
If you’re interested or have a snow related question just drop us a line, you can contact us via WhatsApp message.
Book a Lesson
Lessons are booked by contacting us via WhatsApp. Let us know when you’d like to ski with one of the team and we’ll sort out the rest. Due to increased costs by Chill Factore we have had to increase our prices this season.
3 Hour Private Lesson
- 3 hours gives us enough time to work on a couple of things in your ski technique. We can really focus on a couple of areas of improvement and work with you to build your understanding and technique. We take a short hydration break halfway through.
2 Hour Private Lesson
- Over the course of the lesson you’ll work with the instructor to develop some drills and exercises that you can work on to make changes to your skiing. It’s great for a confidence boost or as part of a series of lessons.
6 Hour Private Lesson
- All day, really focus on you. Ideally let us know in advance what you are looking for, this length of time means we can do multiple video sessions, really nail the drills and have plenty of time to consolidate the movements and techniques and understanding. The 6 hour session will include breaks for lunch and hydration.
Our Manchester courses are inclusive of lift passes and coaching. To book on to a Spindrift lesson or course you must be of a standard to ski from the top of the main slope. This means that you should be happy turning on a blue run and using a button lift. If this is not you, we recommend that you learn with the Chill Factore Snowsports School. If you require accommodation Chill Factore is well located near the Trafford Centre with a Travel Lodge and Premier Inn next door, or stay in one of Manchester’s many amazing boutique hotels and take advantage of all the city has. If you have any questions, just drop us a line.
