“The planning, booking and service we received all went very smoothly and the price per head was really reasonable. Thanks to all the team for making it a great experience for all the children (and the parent helpers)! Looking forward to coming back again next year“
Valerie Wood, Cramond Primary School
“The dads absolutely loved the experience and would happily come back. In our group we have 2 children with Autism who present very challenging behaviour and the staff member on the day who instructed us took this well within his stride. The children all had a fantastic time and in large this was down to the instructor’s ability to acknowledge the challenging behaviour and adapt to it rather than attempt to shut it down which is often the case. The staff in the bar serving the drinks were also very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure that everybody was well looked after. The team all deserve a pat on the back and please let them know of our appreciation.”
Ryan Warren, Home Start Glasgow South
“We enjoyed our visit, high praise to the whole team there who made it stress free and enjoyable for all students.”
Mr Williams from Moffat Academy
“Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to all of the team at Snow Factor for facilitating such a great fun filled and memorable night, everyone in our party classed it as a major success. This is definitely something that we will recommend to other projects and project teams working in the area in the future.”

I learned to ski on a hill on the farm my dad lived at when I was a child. I furthered my ski education with a local Adventure Club, with trips to Glencoe, Glenshee, and Nevis Range. The instructors on these trips inspired me, this was when I decided that I wanted to become an outdoor sports instructor. To accomplish this, I enjoyed 7 seasons at Cairngorm before coming to work with Snow Factor.

I learned to fall badly on the Pow in Whistler. Loved getting bruised so much I wanted to show others how to accomplish the same. Seasons have always eluded me but I do love to get away when I can to enjoy some falling on my face in front of strangers.

I learnt to snowboard in Canada, at Big White Ski Resort. I became an instructor because I loved the sport, and wanted to teach more people to show how fun a sport it is.
I have taught in Canada, Mt. Norquay for 5months. It was amazing!
