All users of the Club are asked to act in a responsible manner, give consideration to themselves and others around them and to prevent damage to the Club’s equipment and facilities.

Please be mindful when carrying equipment not to hurt anyone around you or to leave equipment where it could cause an accident or injury, including on the slope.

When using the travellators and POMA lift, remember to give consideration to other slope users and always join at the entry point at the bottom.
-
Give way to other skiers and snowboarders in front of you – straight running is strictly forbidden
-
When accessing the slope from the POMA lift, waves, moguls or fun park, ensure you check you have given other skiers and snowboarders already on the slope, plenty of space to continue their run.
-
Snowboarders – please check carefully before changing direction and look backwards when starting a turn heel side.
-
If you need to stop, do so at the side of the slope away from the main run, so you do not obstruct other slope users – do not sit down.
-
Open Practice is only suitable for skiers/snowboarders who have been signed off by a Norfolk Snowsports Club Instructor/Coach, to safely control speed and turns from the top of the main slope.
-
Please report to reception or maintenance, any defect or hazard you may see.
-
Please, no drinking, eating or smoking on the slopes.
-
Obey all signs, markings or advice/warnings from slope supervisors, Instructors, Coaches and team members.
-
The fun park, waves and moguls are designed for more experienced skiers/snowboarders and should not be attempted without tuition and practice runs from a lower level.
-
For our experienced riders – before attempting any jumps, assess how fast the slope is running.
-
Please remember, when it’s cold, wet or icy, the slope will run much faster and you will need a higher level of control to avoid collisions and accidents.
- It is inevitable that we will have changes to the timetable for events, maintenance or unforeseen circumstances. We reserve the right to make changes at any time and will do our best to communicate this through our website and social media channels.
- Children must not be left unaccompanied at the Club under the age of 16 years old – unless they are attending one of our fully supervised day camps and this has been clearly communicated with the staff.

- You are welcome to take photos and videos of yourself and your children, except in the changing area/bootroom, but you must be careful not to cause a hazard to other slope users.
