    anybody every tried this in Belfast?

    http://wearevertigo.com/ski/

    or anywhere else that does this .. the place itself doesn't get create reviews .. but that's mostly to do with not being able to bring food into the trampoline park .. anyone who has tried the skiing seems to enjoy it.

    and there is good reviews of similar places in the UK.

    Also anyone been to Lermoos in Austria, we are heading late Dec .. just wondering what people experience of it are.

    Sean

    They have that in Dublin too:

    Being a boarder I found it difficult to get used of the feeling of not really moving and the bar in front is almost a distraction. I much prefer the dry slope to the rolling carpet.

    My other half is a skier and she said the opposite - found the rolling carpet much better than Kilternan. I'd like to know if it's a board vs ski thing or just an individual preference!

    I'm a skier and found it awful. At least in Kilternan you are getting somewhere.

    Snowboarding, I could barely stand up on it, seriously sore on the knees when you fall, it's not like real snow at all there is way too much friction. I'd been snowboarding maybe 4 times(weeks trips) on actual snow before I tried it, maybe if you've never been before it might be different and you are not use to the feel of actual snow. If you can stand and turn on that thing for 5 minutes I'd say you'd be brilliant on real snow.
