Overview

Come through the main doors of Intu Soar. I would recommend taking the left hand side (beside the new Projectionist restaurant) and walking in there as on the otherside, far above the indoor golf, you will discover people jumping from the ceiling of the sky park to the ground (securely strapped in, I assure you). This can create a bottle neck at that point. Follow the route through till you hit all the restuarants. Lift to the 2nd floor is to your right- before the ten pin bowling. When you arrive at the 2nd floor, go past the buffet restaurant and onto the entrance for Snow factor. The resturant is called Barvaria and if you go into the restuarant, you will see the lift on your right hand side. This will take you back downstairs and into the ski centre. You will come out right beside Disability Snowsports Office. The other adaptive group, Active8 have a bench just under the stairs.

Transport & Parking

I am not entirely certain there are many ways to get to Soar other than in private transport

Access

Snow factor has many people with mixed abilities coming through its doors. And i find this to be the only environment where my son isnt treated as having "additional support needs" but is just treated equally with the next person waiting in the queue for the tow-rope- which is ace.

Toilets

There are 2 disabled toilets in the ski centre. One is close to the ski slope and i think is used as a bit of a "free for all" toilet. The other- which is usually a bit cleaner- is behind DSUK's office

Staff

There are so many people with disabilities (and so many families and friends who accompany them) that no one is treated differently.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Both DSUK and active8.org.uk offer lessons for standing skiers and sit ski skiers too.
