Overview

It was great to try out the adapted ski-ing at SnowFactor in Braehead Shopping Centre. Being a huge sports fan I was eager to try it out as I never thought it would be possible. It’s fast, fun and provides you with an adrenaline rush making you want to go faster each ski-run. Having different options for different abilities was fantastic, I got to try out the mono-ski which allows you to be completely independent as well as try out the tethered assisted option. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get into adaptive snow sports, or try something new.

Transport & Parking

There are a number of disabled parking bays available.

Access

Level Access into the Soar centre itself with a lift up to the ski bar (Barvaria). Access to get out onto the slope itself is relatively accessible with only a small lip on the door which is quite easy to lift the chair over.

Toilets

Can’t comment as didn’t use the bathroom but I know there are disabled toilets available.

Staff

Staff were brilliant very knowledgeable and open to answering questions.
