Yorkshire Skiing

Yorkshire's skiing lives on dry slopes and in regional clubs. Snozone Yorkshire (Castleford, real snow) and Halifax Ski and Snowboard Centre (Snowflex, freestyle) are the active venues. Sheffield Ski Village, once Europe's largest artificial ski resort, closed in 2012 but remains part of regeneration plans.
