Work is set to begin next week on Chill Factor E, an indoor real snow ski slope and Alpine village, next to the Trafford Centre in Manchester.
Due to open in October 2007, the £31m, 23,225 sq m (250,000sq ft) scheme, which is designed to appeal to proficient skiers and snowboarders as well as beginners and families, will be split into two areas – cold and warm.
The cold area will boast three separate, but interconnected, ski-slopes and a toboggan run as well as a children’s snow-play zone with igloos, ice-castles, slides and snowman-building.
The warm zone will feature Alpine bars and restaurants with panoramic views overlooking the slopes.
The complex will also include a rock-climbing wall and an indoor skateboard park |

They should build one huge dome right over what is now Basingstoke, no one would miss it.

I was asked to do a valuation for an annex to it which, if it goes ahead will be a skateboard park. Don't think I'll be going on that bit though!

Manchester Chill Factor: We went to look at the site where it's being built and work has started - so this one seems to have actually gone further than the planning office - which is rare! As we live about 10 mins away, it can't come soon enough.

Its a definite. The company behind it did not release a press statement when they got planning permission, but instead waited until they were actually turning soil.
