❄️ We run 2-day Outdoor Emergency First Aid courses at the SnowDome in Tamworth B79 7ND. It's a great venue - with the chance to do some practical scenarios on the snow, and there's no need to be a skier or a snowboarder, but you do need to dress warmly!
❄️The next course takes place on Mon/Tue 20/21 April 2026, runs from 9-5 each day, and the cost is £165 for the 2 days, which includes your 3 year e Certificate.
✅It's a perfect introduction to first aid in an outdoor/ remote environment. Practical courses, with outdoor scenarios to simulate injuries found in a variety of incidents. - you experience being a first responder - and a casualty, for a great learning experience

Morning,
A93 is now open.
We are open for Snowsports on the Plastic, D**k D**k and Rope Tow areas.
Colder today with currently a moderate SW wind which is switching back to the north. The overnight rain and wind has affected the snow pack, leaving it soaked in some key areas which has not allowed us access to the wider hill.
Forecast is to go back colder with sleet/snow this afternoon with an overnight frost. Wind from the North tomorrow and lighter winds and a return to snow showers from Wednesday through to Friday.
