Even if you can’t fit in a holiday there’s no need to be left out in the cold, you can still get your snow fix by visiting Manchester this month. Now don’t go checking the weather forecast, we’re talking about the Chill Factore Manchester’s all year round Alpine village.

The Chill Factore is the UK’s premier Snowsports Centre of Excellence, a great place to ski, board, climb, shop and dine, complete with the thrill of real snow!

If you are already acquainted with the Alps then you can save £15 with an All Evening Lift Pass on Saturday and Sunday from 7pm to 11pm. That’s up to 4 hours of skiing and snowboarding for just £30 for juniors and £35 for adults.

For those of you who don’t know your snowplough from your schuss, then Chill Factore has lessons available for beginners right up to future Olympic racers and freestylers. They also offer tasters in skiing and snowboarding to help you to prepare for their main slope; the largest indoor slope in the country or even for your winter holiday with First Choice Ski!

If you fancy trying something a little different then why not have a go at a tubing or luging session at the UK's only indoor Luge ice slide, great family fun in the snow. Chill Factore have even got something for the little ones in their snowplay area; fantastic fun for children aged 2-10 years.

If you pre-book your snow activities now you can take advantage of their VAT Freeze for February offer. From 1st January 2010, VAT has increased from 15% to 17.5% but the Chill Factore has held their current prices for the whole of February so there will be no price increase, even if you pre-book activities for the rest of the year. Helmet, skis/board and boots are included in the price but don’t forget to wrap up warm; thick socks and gloves are a must!
