Poor skiers and snowboarders. The British Isles isn’t the best place for pow hunters, what with our lack of decent snow.

Scotland is the place to live in you want to shred as much as humanly possible on real snow. We recommend Aviemore or the Nevis Range. It’s a beautiful area to live in but some might find it a little remote.

If you don’t want to live in Scotland, then your next best bet is situating yourself near an indoor dome or dry slope.

Yes, dry slopes aren’t exactly the real thing but they’ve produced a huge number of world class athletes (Katie Summerhayes and Aimee Fuller, to name but a few!)

The Ski Club of Great Britain have a brilliant map showing all the locations of slopes in the UK.

The domes can be found everywhere from Yorkshire to Hemel Hempstead to Glasgow.

We’d recommend…

Glasgow to be near the Nevis Range and Glencoe. There are plenty of big cities near domes and dry slopes including Leeds, Bristol, Manchester and London.
