Ski Village, Sheffield - December 2012

Another site some of us Leicester lot did while in Sheffield recently. Sheffield Ski Village was believed to be the largest artificial ski resort in Europe, with a sports shop, bar, restaurant and a range of slopes. There was also a ten pin bowling alley, quad biking, laser tag and a downhill biking track. The main building was destroyed by a fire earlier this year, and after another fire on the site the Ski Village closed completely. Since that time the place has been totally ripped apart.

Lots of fun to be had here...nice 1

There was also a shop (or two?) that I remember going in like 7 years ago to buy some ski gear for my holiday..wonder where that has gone

Looks a great day out, before and after the closure!

The main building with the shop was destroyed by fire earlier in the year (while the site was still in use) The whole place never reopened properly again after that I dont think.

Common opinion in Sheffield (that I have heard, at least) is that it was an insurance job.
I'm glad someone was kind enough to leave a sledge lying about

Looks awesome !

Would love to have a look at somewhere like this

A similar rumour about the fire at Gatecrasher did the rounds at the time....
