The Ackers

The Ackers is a non profit charity (Reg No. 1107240) run for the benefit of the community. The Ackers has 3 floodlit synthetic bristle matting slopes available for use throughout the year. The main slope is approx. 100m long and incorporates a permanent ramp jump area and mobile rails, ideal for those wishing to practice or improve their techniques. There are also 3 x 30m nursery slopes. One nursery slope is dedicated solely to snowboard lessons and the other two are used for starter ski lessons and tobogganing.
