Midlothian Snowsports Centre boasts the biggest artificial ski slope in the UK and is the training center for the Scottish Olympians. There are two main slopes, two nursery slopes and a jump slope. They offer courses for adults and children, beginners and experts. Yet the fun is not limited to skiing. Enthusiasts can take part in snowboarding and snowblading and a range of freestyle features, such as the purpose built tubing runs. Thanks to state of the art floodlighting, the slopes stay open after the sun has set. There is also a lovely cafe with incredible views of the Pentland Hills and the city of Edinburgh.
