My skiing in May'26 wasn't on particularly cold mountains. It was upside down brushes on the warm and green Mendip Hills, a famous nature area southwestern England, 25 kilometers from Bristol. Not a big hill... but I had a LOT of fun. On previous occasions on these plastic surfaces I've not felt at home, but now it felt like I had gotten the hang of it. Skiing was smooth and fun. There were steeper and less steeper sections, a section with moguls. Three bumps to be exact :-)
This ski hill is in the Mendip Activity Centre (link), which has a ton of different adventures to offer from skiing to tobogganing, camping, kayaking, caving and everything in between. Much recommended. The staff was also very friendly.
A two-hour ski pass is 20£.
See also my next adventure, which was about the caves nearby on the Mendip Hills... sadly not the good, wild ones but just commercial ones: link (alt. link).
