The Sheffield ski village is where it all began for me over 15 yrs ago since then I became a snowboard instructor and watched all the people in the GB Olympics come through the ranks as kids. Bring Back Sheffield Ski Village

The loss of the Sheffield Ski Village has left a hole which needs to be filled. Great work.

What a great cause to get some sport back into sheffield and after recent Olympics where team GB made an impact. Let's get some home grown athletes from sheffield back on the map with up and coming youngsters

Kept me off the streets and gave me the chance to see some amazing places and meet some amazing people. The ski industry is worth millions, why not introduce our youngsters to jobs and the chance to excel in sport?!

Sheffield ski village is too good of a resource, not only to the surrounding area but also too future hopefull athletes alike.

This is a chance to bring one of the original venues of snow sports in the UK back to life. It has helped many riders progress in the past and now is a great time to reinvest in the facility so soon after Sochi. Renewed facilities here would be a fantastic legacy after the 2014 games and an investment in the future of the sports and tomorrows athletes...whatever the level.

Lets put Sheffield back on the map, and give ourselves a fighting chance to get some more medals at the next Winter Olympics.

I started skiing on that slope when it first opened and was just a portakabin and one dry slope it went on to such great things and I cannot believe it ended up closing but as all things in Sheffield like the airport and many other amazing businesses they are ruined by the council's lack of support and vision...stop voting them in!!!!!!

I was lucky enough to learn to ski at SSV aged 3 and then teach & coach there later in life before moving out to the alps to work with ski brands. Bringing any kind of facility to teach the next geration on Woodsys, Machons, Longleys and Summerhayes' back to sheffield is the best idea I have seen in ages. And bonus, you already have a great knowledge base of young coaches based in sheffield who have experience at the top level of the sport representing the country. Because of this, even after SSV burnt down, the home of UK snowsports never changed from being Sheffield.
