Poster: A snowHead

The proposed SNOASIS snowdome development in Suffolk received planning permission at lunchtime today. Just down the road from my parents, so we'll no doubt get to visit when/if it opens! Details here

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

Zermatt's casino got permission ... and shut within months. It was a very expensive underground construction, right next to the poshest hotel in the resort, the Zermatterhof.
It's now a branch of a Swiss bank! [presumably with the blackjack tables removed]
It'll be very interesting indeed to see how the Snoasis development progresses from here on. The length and design of indoor snow slopes are clearly still at the experimental stage in terms of profitability. It's a side of the leisure industry that is only about 15 years old, in terms of serious money. I wonder which slopes have reached serious profitability?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It's a pity it was supported by a swimmer, yet there's still no swimming pool. The number of pools is declining as fast as dry ski slopes as they don't make a profit and councils can't afford to support them any more once they need refurbishment.

I think that os great news about Snoasis - my In laws live just down the road, so it will definitely be a regular haunt.
The only problem though is whether they will cock it up as much as the Snowdome in MK? If its managed right and they give it regular servicing then it will be fantastic, but lets hope the people who want the profits don't get too greedy and start cutting corners otherwise we'll just have another ice slope to deal with!
