Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Everyone.
I just heard "this morning" that Braehead is to reopen. The idea is the uplift is there but the cost of the electricity for making and keeping snow was too much. So they are going to install a dry slope.

@GlasgowCyclops, interesting. Is there enough demand, e.g. as Glasgow Ski Centre looks pretty well developed?

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

@Arctic Roll, hence my embarrassment
Mind you having seen some of the other recent ski (?) related infrastructure decisions in bonny Ecosse, it didn't surprise me ...

Whether this topic was started as an April Fool or not, it’s actually not that far off the mark!
As I understand it the slope and 2 Pomas are being retained, the slope will be refloored and covered with Neveplast Skiddy - a variation on their ski slope material designed to allow go carts to drift!

Except this will be on a slope with gravity carts pulled up by the Pomas. Tubing will also be available. In theory the slope should thus remain skiable! We shall see!!
