Bowles ski slope Jan 2010

SKI & SNOWBOARD COURSES, PRIVATE LESSONS & OPEN SLOPE SESSIONS (now including free ski coaching)

Bowles has two dry ski slopes, a beginners slope and a longer dendix slope. Bowles is just off the A26, five miles south of Tunbridge Wells on the Kent -Sussex border.  Skiing and snowboarding courses, Ski lessons, snowboard lessons and open slope sessions (which include coaching) are all available throughout the winter months. Private lessons are available throughout the year.  Equipment hire is included in the cost of the courses, lessons and open sessions.

Our experienced, qualified, mature and patient instructors are the key to your progress. We have a reputation for high quality instruction and have an instructor available on most open sessions to give you tips, advice and coaching.

Our nursery slope is made of Snowflex and is the ideal surface for learning to ski and snowboard. Our Dendix main slope provides a faster, longer ski slope for more advanced learners and for skiers and boarders wanting to practice their skills.

Both ski slopes are floodlit, allowing sessions to run into the night in winter. They also have variable speed button tow-lifts and water spray systems for smooth skiing whatever the weather.   

As well as our open ski and snowboard sessions, our dry ski slope plays host to clubs including Kent and Sussex Ski Club, Disability Snowsport UK and Bowles Ski Racing Club.  

Skiers and boarders with disabilities are welcome to use the slope during practice times; we provide adapted equipment.  If someone with a disability wishes to learn to ski or board and is prevented by the nature of their disability from joining group courses, we will be pleased to offer private tuition at the same price as a course.


Rock climbing and other outdoor activity courses - Throughout the year we run a fantastic range of outdoor activity courses open to the public including rock climbing, canoeing, skiing and snowboarding and family activity weekends

Birthday parties at Bowles - sledging, skiing and pool sessions ( kayaking, raftbuilding and swimming) are a firm favourite with local families
book early though!

It was the first time my daughter had put on a pair of skis, Sarah (Fox) encouraged her, she did well and thoroughly enjoyed her lesson. A very clear and professional instructor. 

We had a very enjoyable lesson and learnt loads! We will be back soon for more! Thank you Hedley

I have gained hugely in confidence and skill and am now very much looking forward to skiing on real snow

It helped me a lot so I am ready for when I go skiing now.  Thank you Nick

Sarah(Collings) was very patient with two obvious idiots!

This was the best party my son has ever had or been too!   Excellent - all the kids had a wonderful time.   Thank you
