[16] A local campaign group formed by members of the former slope management staff has been started with the objective of eventually reopening the former Ski Village site and operating it as a hub for snowsports excellence in the UK.

The Snowsport for Sheffield[17] group is headed by former Ski School manager Al Bister, and Paul Yiend former Snowboard Instructor and has already generated significant support from local residents and notable press coverage.

[19][20][21][22][23] However, due to stronger than expected interest in development for the site Sheffield City Council extended the deadline by a further two weeks till 21 April.

A further seven backers are set to sign up as soon as planning has been granted, these include an 80-bed hotel and a cycle shop and hire centre.

The project depends on a new £6 million access road to the site with Sheffield City Council, Network Rail and land owners Viridor in negotiations.
