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 :-)

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.

If he makes £300 net a week (which might be a stretch) it wouldn't be a bad return.

Strange choice of location? Bapton is the middle of nowhere?
There is already a Ski-plex in Basingstoke so that will take the traffic from the East.
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.

I got the impression that he set it up on a corner of his estate. He lives nearby at Stockton. It's a very nice part of the world, but certainly not busy!

And I tend to agree with @Richard_Sideways, but fair enough, why not try and recover a little return on a sunk cost?
