If you can ski in Sheffield, you can ski anywhere.

Now returning to nature, Sheffield Ski Village was once the centre of a vibrant community of people who skied and snowboarded in a city without snow. Using evocative archival footage, interviews, and sound design this film will take you back to the world of the Ski Village, and this will contrast with the desolate landscapes of the current day deserted hillside.
