ENJOY Snowsports all year round

WE DESIGN & BUILD YEAR-ROUND SNOWSPORTS CENTRES

Since 1979 Briton Engineering Developments the company behind Snowflex® has been helping businesses turn the rapid growth of winter sports into a brilliant commercial opportunity. Today, we deliver unforgettable experiences in year-round snowsports. A uniquely comprehensive ‘turnkey’ service covering everything: from terrain design, to world-wide installation of our synthetic snow sports surface.

Design
Turning your venture into a venue starts with ideas, not products.
Terrain design

It’s a bold claim, but we’re unique in the world with our knowledge and expertise in terrain design for year-round snow sports. Right since the birth of snowboarding and the explosion in freestyle snow sports, we’ve pioneered the art and science of creating terrain that offers the fun, thrills and wow-factor that keep people coming back. Sites that aren’t just great to visit and easy to own; they’re also aspirational, widely respected and often even iconic.

Manufacture
Great terrain needs a surface to match. That’s why we make our own.

As mechanical engineers and problem solvers at heart, it’s little wonder that manufacturing is in our blood. We’ve come a long way since the early days of building our own ski lifts, and Snowflex® which is still produced in our UK factory, is the award-winning result.

install
Even with the best design and materials, the installation needs to be perfect.

We’ve made it our mission to offer a truly turnkey solution – one where closer collaboration minimises our clients’ workload and hassle, leaving them free to focus on what they do best. Through careful planning and skilful project management we oversee every aspect of a new site’s installation, whether we’re working with local civil engineering contractors from the client’s location or supplying a trusted UK team of our own.

If only some UK slopes had the courage to do this. Snowflex® is where it's at. Every town should have a Snowflex® slope. Safe, easy, fun and cheap compared to the real snow equivalent
