A brilliant atmosphere for young talent to learn thete dport and go forward to represent our country. Its hugely important that our children have an oppourtunity to learn and work in such ppsitive environment

The ski village is one of the main reasons I chose to go to university in Sheffield. If it goes, the city of 'sport' which has already lost Don Valley Stadium will fall even further backwards.

The ski village site needs to be utilised. Sheffield should capitalise on its sporting potential and the enthusiasm of its residents.

Learnt to ski at Sheffield ski village and it was an essential building platform that I went on to compete for GB at World Cup and World Championships in Halfpipe!

Has anyone actually put a proposal together about this? A full business case outlining where/how/when/costs etc?

To let Sheffield Ski Village die will be like taking a piece of Sheffield history with it. I spend many hours of my youth learning to ski there and my kids we're doing the same - Sheffield prides itself as an outdoor city and the Ski village was a big part of this.

Is this just a pathetic quest for funds?

For any sport to progress people need places to practice and develop their craft. Sheffield Ski Village has the potential to be both a financial and cultural asset to the city and surrounding areas. A decision not to redevelop the current site is a decision to sacrifice the potential talent of many young people who are yet to even try the sport. The way I see it, while it is disappointing that the Ski Village currently lies in ruin on the hill side, the massive support this cause is getting is so positive. Respect to everyone who's involved at whatever level!

For three years I came to the ski village with the uni snow-sports clubs to practise and race for comps, throw ridiculous shapes off the corner kicker (mostly not landing) onto the white slidey carpet that once lined the epic park area of ssv. I went not only for a good ride but for a great social snd chsnce to meet other like minder snow/carpet enthusiasts. A delight that made my uni experience, why can't future generations get this too? Sheffield Ski Village is a proven Olympic training ground. Get this mother back on the slopes!

A dry slope offers so much more than a fridge! It offers SPACE. the ski village should never applied for a roof and fridge it should have applied to be bigger. There's actually a lot more hill that could be developed and made into a diverse exciting and changeable slope style area.
