Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Denmark plan to build ski slope on waste plant

Internationally-reknowned Danish architecture firm, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), have won a competition with a design to build a public ski slope on top of a waste-to-energy treatment center in Copenhagen.
The design is essentially a giant shell wrapped around a waste incinerator. It will have slopes for all levels of skiers - geen, blue, or black diamond. But, instead of chairlifts, there will be an elevator to take skiers from the base to the top. And rather than snow, there will be “recycled synthetic granular” material that has similar properties to snow. The plant is expected to be completed in spring of the 2016.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

"Access is via an elevator. The geometry of the roof shape supports three slopes rated Green, Blue and Black. There will be a total of 1,500m+ of ski runs including a terrain park."

Wow...but is it still going to function as a waste treatment centre? I'm not sure I'd be too keen on that if that were the case.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Well they have to do something with the product of people cacking themselves when they inadvertently ski onto the black instead of green.....
A bit of a fag though - up lift, exit, skis on, ski down, 60-90 seconds later, skis off, walk to lift.....etc etc Probably more fun than than a 120m fridge, that said.
