South Wilts Ski Club Opens in Wiltshire

The South Wilts Ski Club, the first indoor skiing facility in Wiltshire, has officially opened in Bapton, near Salisbury, allowing enthusiasts to refine their skiing technique year-round. Founded by Nick Jenkins, the millionaire behind Moonpig, the club features a unique MaxxTracks infinity slope that can be adjusted for different difficulty levels and speeds, mimicking the experience of skiing on a well-groomed piste. The project, which cost £300,000 and took a year to establish, was inspired by Jenkins' desire to create a practice venue for his daughter between ski holidays. The facility offers personalized one-on-one coaching, video feedback for skill enhancement, and provides all necessary equipment. Only two skiers can use the slope at a time, ensuring an exclusive experience. Jenkins envisions this venue as a way to maximize skiing time and improve fitness for all ages before the winter season begins.
