Folkestone Dry Ski Centre Enters Administration

The trust which runs Folkestone Ski Centre and other sports facilities in the town has appointed administrators after running into financial difficulties.
The Folkestone Sports Centre Trust was established four years ago to operate long established facilities including the ski slope, a swimming pool, fitness facilities, dance studios, ball courts and a high ropes course.
In a public announcement, the trustees blamed "the current national and indeed world-wide situation" for a "dramatic increase in costs" while at the same time they say they have had a decline in income as, "many people struggle with their own finances."
Folkestone Ski Centre has a 60m main slope with tuition is offered from fully qualified ASSI (Artificial Ski Slope Instructors). The centre has also run a Junior Snowsports Academy for younger skiers to have fun while working their way up through the various tuition levels.
It is unclear what will now happen with the ski slope's operations and that of other sports facilities formerly run by the Trust. In their statement they advise to watch social medial channels for updates.
