About Polmonthill
Polmonthill Snowsports Centre has been a unique local sports venue since first opening in 1973. In October 2024, members of the local community took over management of the Centre and saved it from closure. We look forward to managing the facility and providing skiing and snowboarding opportunities for the next 50 years.
Polmonthill is now managed by members of the community. Our charity, Polmonthill Community Snowsports Centre, was formed in 2024 as a response to Falkirk Council's intention to close the facility. The charity and its members took control and operation of the Centre on 1st October 2024. Our Community Asset Transfer application to purchase the Centre is expected to conclude in 2025. Having kept the venue open, we are determined to opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy skiing and snowboarding.
Our dryslope is the perfect environment to learn to ski and snowboard and to practice and refine existing skills. We run regular private and group lessons for all abilities. Our expert instructors guide every skier and snowboarder according to their individual skill levels.
Our central location makes our facility highly accessible and our Centre is friendly and welcoming to all. Join us and experience a vibrant skiing culture, meet new people, and take your skiing and snowboarding to the next level.
​
We provide programs to promote healthy, active lifestyles, to support casual skiers and to introduce the sport to children and adults who have never skied before. We believe that growing snowsports means more than just increasing numbers. It means fewer barriers and more diversity, it means providing more opportunities for those of all backgrounds, all ages and all abilities.​​

Polmonthill has four core objectives. These core objectives establish the foundation of the strategic business plan for our sport. We encourage all visitors to participate in the local, regional and national efforts to ensure that these objectives are accomplished.
-
Build the Base: We seek to expand our membership in order to share our sport with as many other people as possible. We are especially committed to sharing the values of our sport with young people who may discover that skiing or snowboarding is an activity they can enjoy for their entire life. This is one of the reasons why we work with local schools to provide lessons as part of their PE curriculum.
-
Promote the Sport: We want skiing and snowboarding to receive as much publicity as possible, because we believe that the more people learn about our sport, the more inclined they will be to come and visit. We are proud of our sport and we seek to celebrate it whenever possible.
-
Achieve Competitive Success: Polmonthill has produced top athletes in the country and national team members. We will continue and excel this tradition of competitive excellence. When our elite athletes are successful in fulfilling their dreams our society benefits from the inspiration these athletes give us.
-
Partnership through Collaborations: It takes a ski community to raise medallists and to grow the sport. Polmonthill will be that community by valuing and respecting all visitors, supporters, partners, affiliates and the interested public, their roles, interests and aspirations.
