The unlikely ski club that has been taking to the slopes since 1973

A popular skiing venue will be holding a celebration event next month - marking 50 years since it first opened its slope to budding skiiers.

When Ski Rossendale opened in September 1973, it boasted the longest artificial ski slope and largest facility of its kind in the UK, at 500m.

Now, plans are in place for a 50th anniversary celebration event at The Hill, the new name for the centre off Haslingden Old Road, Rawtenstall, reports LancsLive.
