There are two man-made ski slopes on the Great Orme in Wales, although neither of them is your destination today. Instead, there is a third slope, this one Wizarding-made, where Ms. Raphael loves to send some of her more adventurous clients. The air is brisk, and the sun is bright against the fresh powder snow recently laid out by a team of wizards in thick waterproof cloaks. Although there is skiing available at this facility, today's adventure can be found on the shorter slopes nearby.
On the closest hill can be found witches and wizards of all ages lined up to take their turn down the hill on a rubber inner tube. Tubing is all the rage with some Muggles, and the shrill screams of delight make it clear why. Ride down the hill solo or clip your tubes together for a tandem ride.
Just beyond the tubing runs is a curving metallic track winding its way down the mountainside. Up to two people can hop onto the metal toboggan and ride the exhilarating course over and over. Be careful to use the break on the turns, though, or you might spill out into the snow accidentally.
If the air is too cold, there's a cozy little lodge at the bottom of the mountain that sells rich hot chocolate and other snacks. Grab a seat in front of the open fireplace and warm up!
