Would it be disingenuous to see this as a millionaire trying to get people to pay for his and his daughters expensive toy under the guise of a business plan?
With his Dragons Den hat on would he invest in a project which would gross an income of at absolute best (100% occupancy) of £2000 a week for a £300,000 investment?

@Richard_Sideways, does it matter? People will pay what people will pay for. Its up to him to enjoy the profits or suck up any losses (which could be decent, one of these went bust in Chiswick then another operator bought it up and re-opened it). So it may be the other way around, he might be subbing peoples dry slope when its going west or nothing.

Can't see how he will draw enough people there to make it viable?

There used to be one in reading and that folded so doubtful that this will be much better. I used the Reading one once and couldn't really get the hang of it. On one of these your centre of gravity must always be between the skis which isn't the case on snow which left me unconvinced that they are that good a training aid

I know that racers use the one in Passy in France. Not seen any video of them though, only photos.
