I was a very lucky girl and got new boots this year along with my own skis from Father Chirstmas. Have not been to Tamworth before but wondered if it is worth the 40 mile trip and if I would be able to try out my new skis. Not sure what the surface is like and if they would get wrecked that's all. Also my bindings aren't attached do you know if they would do that there too? Any advice appreciated?re: tamworth snowdome
If its anything Like Milton Keynes you will be fine.

Tamworth is really good fun. I had some new boots for Christmas and I will certainly be going there to find my ski legs before I jet off to Bulgaria on 27th Jan 2007.Lets fact it - The snow is probably better there than Bulgaria.

It's snow (man made) so your skis will be fine.You need a ski shop to mount your bindings. One that has a service facility. It normally costs between £15 and £30 to get your own skis mounted and it's also worth checking that they sell the same sort of bindings you have. That way you'll be sure they have a mounting jig to fit.

Depending on when you go, Tamworth has a shop called the snowboard asylum. Give them a ring, I am sure they will fit them for you.re: tamworth snowdome
I learnt to ski... sort of... at Tamworth. Been about 10 times since the Summer, travelling from Bristol.
My In-Laws live nearby, so it's a welcome escape when we visit. Not sure if I'd drive all the way from Bristol for a single session at the Snowdome, but 40 miles probably well worth it.
Word of advice... gets very busy this time of year. Book in advance, and get in at the start of a morning session if you can. The snow is much better earlier. When it's busy it tends to get a bit ...

Not qualified to comment on your kit situation. They're very helpful at the Snowdome, but also very busy at the start of each session, so not sure how you'd plan to collar someone.
Lots of fun. Go for it.

Kiwi1 - your paragliding video is ace! The take-off looked a bit hairy. Did you ice your pants internally?
