I've never been to a dome before, but have been riding for a few years
I'm planing on doming a few times during the summer, can I just poll up and ride? Do I have to prove to somebody that I'm not a learner?
Can I just tell them I've been riding for a while and not have to prove that I can obviously ride a poma and link turns? |

Yeah, which Dome?
Turn up, pay, strap in, Poma or Travelator, ride, fall over, bitch about Ice / Snow quality, do it all over again.
Go home with a big grin  |

You can pre-book slope time but there is no need to.
They'll ask you if you meet the minimum requirements of riding poma, controlling speed, able to turn, stop etc... Just say yes.
Plus definitely worth joining SCUK to get discount on slope time. plus all the other wonderful benefits. |

Enjoy!
Only other thing you probably need to do, in my experience, is continually curse skiers for the unerring desire to rip their f***ing skis over the top of my board at the bottom of the tows every single time. |
