    Report - Sheffield Ski Village - October 2018

    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...

    Report - Sheffield Ski Village - July 2019

    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...

    Report - Sheffield Ski Village (July 2017)

    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...

    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..

    Report - Sheffield Ski Village, January 2016

    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...

    Report - Sheffield Ski Village (Decemeber 2015)

    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...
