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 :-)

Just checked the O2 site: twin slopes, each 45m in length. That's seems quite short (though probably ok for lunch time shenanigans Smile)
How long are the slopes at MK?

Not sure about MK, but Castleford is 175m.

Both slopes are approximately 220ft high and in length are both 175m
- in Milton Keynes. But the O2 is a lot closer! Definitely good for a ski fix I'd have thought!

Hmmm... takes me 90 minutes (door-to-door) from zone 1 in London to MK. Comparitively, it takes 60 minutes to get to the O2. And most of that journey is underground.

I think it's worth travelling the extra 30 minutes for the longer - and ever so slightly more challenging - slope at MK Smile

That said, the more slopes they build in and around London the better (although moving to the alps is another option...)

Arno,

No, they're plastic. Also only temporary.

Got to say the mock up photo on the website makes it look less desirable than the slope at the ski show which itself is usually as desirable as ricketts.

Libertine, considering I'm a novice.... Smile

Anyway, since the O2 slope is plastic according the folk above, it's no longer on my radar.

The snowdomes are all of the order of 160m. There is an indoor slope at Calshot (near Southampton) that's about 42m, and a slope here in Guildford also about 40m - but I've never been to either of those Wink . 45m allows you to get about 2 turns in (3 at a push). A "typical" dryslope is in the 100m+ region: Bromley 120m, Aldershot, Christchurch and Southampton all about 110m, as is Warmwell (Snowflex surface). Bowles is a bit shorter at 75m, Folkestone at 60m and I think Sandown's about the same. Welwyn is about 150m, Bassingbourne is 100m, Brentwood, Norwich and Ipswich are bit longer at 180m (but Brentwood's rather flat), and the Nike slopes (all now a Permasnow surface) at Bracknell, Chatham (and also Swadlincote) are about 160m. There are a few longer ones: Pontypool at 230 and Llandudno at 250m, Wycombe (if it ever gets going again) at 300m, and of course Hillend at 400m.
