ski village

Access to the ski slope was incredibly easy however at the main entrance there was a congregation of gypsy travellers who seemed to be residing at the site next to a large dumping spot. The slope had suffered a significant amount of vandalism and damage over the years including several arson...

1. The History The Ski Village was apparently the biggest artificial ski slope in Europe and drew people to Sheffield from all over the UK and further afield. Built at a cost of £2.5 million by city entrepreneur John Fleetham, and unveiled in 1988, in its heyday Sheffield’s Ski Village attracted...

Sadly there is pretty much nothing left at the Sheffield Ski Village. In fact, soon it will be hardly recognisable that the site was ever used to be the skiing centre! Nether the less, this was something on our list that we'd wanted to see for a while so we made our way up into the Sheffield...

Apologies for this being posted so late after the pictures have been taken. I haven't been sure if this is report worthy as there's very little left of the site and not much to see really, but ultimately I decided that something is better than nothing. Across from the main gate there was a...

Had to go as I did ski and snow board here in 2003 ish . So sad to see how it is so wrecked by the traveling community . Did go last week but there was a car with 4 rottweiler in so did not fancy sticking around .

Hi there! A bit late uploading this one, but here we go... Recently visited the Sheffield Ski village; we'd also been when it was still open.. We got in without difficulty, and we were able to explore to our heart's content. First, a bit of history: What was once one of the focal points of the...

Hooray, my first report! SSV seems to be a very popular destination on this forum so I won't bore you with the history. I visited with my girlfriend right at the start of this month. What struck me most was how popular it seemed to be – kids riding bikes, families taking strolls. I wasn't the...

Sheffield ski village once was a popular attraction that now lays bare with no more people coming to ride the famous artificial ski slope but instead to look at what was and what is no longer, and some people who unfortunately set fire to it on a few occasions. The complex closed in 2012 when it...

The Visit Visited with @Bigian88 while we were close by.. not much I can say about this place, its totally destroyed although for some strange reason I really enjoyed wandering about there :) The History Sheffield Ski Village was an artificial ski slope complex in the Parkwood Springs area of...

Me and Ben began our usual roadtrip with a fairly early start which meant arriving at our first port of call; Sheffield, with good time to spare. The sun was shining and we headed straight for the disued Ski Village with my "Skiesta" in tow.... The Ski village was believed to be one of...

I know that this site has been done multiple times but i thought it was worth the report and the update :) This was on the 24th of April. The ski village was where i learnt to ski and was a fantastic place to have in Sheffield. It was believed to be the biggest artificial slopes in the whole of...

Sheffield Ski Village - April 2014 Hey there fellow explorers, This one documents my very first outing as a novice urban explorer, any constructive tips or comments would be welcome, please go easy on me!! A friend and I visited a few sites prior to settling on the Ski Village, we'd thought...

Hi all, i know this place has been done a lot but here's mine. I found myself in sheffield yesterday with my camera in the car so i thought id nip in

Bit of history from ScottNicklin report, and adapted slightly: Sheffield Ski Village was an artificial ski slope complex in the Parkwood Springs area of Sheffield, England. It was believed to be the largest artificial ski resort in Europe with a sports shop, bar, restaurant and a range of...

Sheffield Ski Village My first urbex explore this one and first report so be easy on me, living just up the road in Doncaster this was seen as an ideal place to start my urbex experience. So early Sunday morning me and scottnicklin1 headed to Sheffield. The site has a surprising amount of stuff...

So me and Collydog decided to head out here on Sunday to explore the place as its only a short journey down the motorway for us, We got there and was suprised how easy it was to enter the site and there was more there than i had expected so much to see! and worth a look if your nearby Bit of...

I've been meaning to have a look up here for a while and a lazy day in with the girlfriend became various trips down a ski slope on different makeshift sleds: The History Not too much point in going over and over this as it's been covered all over the net recently. To quote wikipedia: The...

A very snowy Sheffield (it's a novelty to see proper snow) only a few pictures, to busy throwing snowballs and being a dick, pipe sledging works surprisingly well :thumb Visited with Tumbles & mexico75 also loads of others from different forums. History from session9 much better...

Visited with The Stig and T Cake. Bit of a day around Sheffield whilst visiting Yorkshire for the festivities. Ran into the owners of the Ski Village who called us thieves, fly tippers and the rest as well as bleeting on about how we should be wearing protective gear etc just before he went...

First post! Shame to see this place in the state that it was, I have lot of memories from this place and now it's just destroyed beyond all recognition within 5 months, some people have no respect. Background Sheffield Ski Village was an artificial ski slope complex in the Parkwood Springs...
