HM Visits: Skiing in South West London with Chel-Ski
Did you know you can hit the slops in London, yes London! Why spend Hundreds of pounds to fly to the mountains to ski when in reality your not that good at it? Especially when you have the facility in London. Yes Chel-ski London give you the opportunity to master your skiing techniques whether your a beginner or a master its a place you should definitely check out before flying off to the mountains.
Chel-ski is an indoor Ski Centre just off of the Kings Road in Chelsea, South West London. 'Chel-Ski is the brainchild of Benedict Wray who also owns Clip ‘N Climb Chelsea- an indoor climbing attraction unique to London, located just next door'.
We visited the centre to hit the slopes. Two of our team went someone who has never skied before and the other who had been a few times. Both found it a very enjoyable experience, The instructors know what they're talking about they are so friendly and easy going people. The centre has 2 slopes separated by a mirrored window enabling you to watch yourself in the mirror whilst other can watch you from the other side of the glass.
The questions many ask at centres like this is that is it like the real thing? Now one of us couldn't answer that questions as we'd never been before but the person who has said no. They justified their answer by saying nothing is like the real thing, all centres are a lot harder to ski in that the actual thing (Mountain slopes) the great thing about these centres is that you can perfect your technique if you can ski at these centres you can almost certainly ck. on the mountains because its a lot easier.
We'd highly recommend visiting Chel-ski before you next head out on a skiing holiday because it gives you a chance to feel how difficult it could be and then when you actually it the real slopes it'll be that little bit easier.
Overal Chel-ski is a fantastic venue, the complex also has a bar/ restaurant area which is meade to look like a ski chalet bar that scandinavian feel to it which i find fantastic its the small details that make the difference in these centres. So don't wait around head over to Chel-ski's website now and book in your visit!
