Overview
SnoZone, Milton Keynes is a slightly longer journey from London, It is easy to find from junction 14 on the M1, if you have never been to Milton Keynes before be careful on the roundabouts. There is plenty of car parking at the site, but you will need to buy a ticket as it incorporated into a large leisure complex.
Slopes
They have a training slope and main slope. The main slope is the longest indoor slope in the UK at approximately 180m. It is almost double the width of The Snow Center.
Layout
SnoZone is accessed all on one floor, which flows well, from reception you head past the cafe, changing rooms and the lockers to the equipment collection area and benches, and then to the slopes.
They offer a variety of activities from private & group lessons with free style and mogul coaching also available along with lift passes, as well as sledging. It also has a cafe with a window view of the slopes. They also have sites in Castleford, Yorkshire and Madrid, Spain.
Lessons
I am unable to comment on lessons as I have never taken any here. They do offer a great variety from group to private lessons and coaching.
Equipment
As part of your lesson or lift pass, your basic equipment is included; skis, board, boots and helmet. You are unable to hire jackets, pants. The equipment staff are really great and friendly, as I already knew my ski length and boot size all I had to do was request the items, you will be asked your weight to set up your bindings correctly. scales are available. It is also good they have the same hire equipment I am used to.

Conclusion
The center is great it is clean and well laid out, the staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside on the date of my visit (27th September 2024) was the quality of the snow, I had read and been advised that it can be “sticky” and they were correct, the skis don’t slide as well. That being said I enjoyed the extra slope length and width which makes it feel less crowded.
