Sheffield Ski Village has been abandoned and it doesn’t have any snow, but that hasn’t stopped skiers and snowboarders from ripping around its derelict slopes.Barcroft

This halfpipe is no slippery slope.

A group of hardy snowboarders returned to a British ski village where they honed their skills — and navigated a decrepit and damaged course littered with debris in May, Barcroft Media reported.

Brothers Byron Haywood-Alexander, 23, and Marcus Haywood-Alexander, 20, along with Andy Dods, 23, were caught doing their thing in drone footage shot by Edward Birch.

The three daredevils had been regulars at the Sheffield Ski Village before it closed after a fire in 2012.

Birch, who runs production company Salt-Street Productions, supports a campaign to rebuild the site.

“We wanted to get the image of the destroyed ski village back in the minds of the people of Sheffield to progress or even ensure its development,” he said. “As well as this, we wanted to make a visually stunning video that captured the public’s imagination.”

He stressed that they did not get in trouble for tackling the dangerous course.

“You enter the site at your own risk and we took the appropriate precautions to do so,” he said.
