Nurse the LCR hangover with a Wednesday afternoon outing to Trowse Mountain, Norwich's answer to the Matterhorn. One of the best things about Snowsports at UEA is that we have such great facilities so close. Norwich Dry Slope is only 10 minutes drive from UEA offering a pretty basic mixture of dendex and snowflex to suit everyones needs, from the soft nursery slope to the reasonably sized kicker and quarterpipe. Following the dryslope we usually have a drink at the Trowse Bar then back to the Union Pub for a few jars......
