 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone have any news on whether Snowdome are still planning to build an indoor 'snow' slope at Wycombe Summit? I keep checking their website and there hasn't been an update for ages. I'm hoping it does go ahead as it will be much closer than MK for us.
Thanks in advance for any updates

onaplateau, I think the plan is fundamentally flawed. Indoor snow for Beginner slope only and keep the Dendix for Main Slope. I know they can't get permission for snow for the main slope, but it's neither one thing nor the other and with Hemel so close, I can't see it going ahead.

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

There's one opening in Hemel in April if that's a little closer!!

Thanks for the replies, that'll be why progress seems to be non existent! Hemel is slightly nearer, but Wycombe is only 10mins away so would have been very handy.

I'm sure i heard they had full planning consent? Putting off starting over a minor s.106 issue sounds odd...
I'm sure i heard they were having trouble with financing? Which is no surprise, numerous construction projects are on hold at the moment, and even if you can find a bank to lend you'd be very brave to start building now.

I think the complete collapse of our financial system might not be helping much. As beanie1 says, many construction projects throughout the country are currently shelved.

Rather than start a new thread, can I ask here whether any other Life Members from Wycombe are on this forum?

Glad we weren't going when the place opened or we might have been in that boat too. Had several family annual memberships and had just paid one when the flames arrived. Pleased to say, got a refund quite promptly although I have heard that for some it took a long time.

I suspect that only 10-20 were ever taken up but we used to get newsletter updates and no longer do. Even the e-mail address on the web-site bounces so I've e-mailed Tamworth and am waiting for a reply.
I'm sure other Life Members would be interested.

I guess it's a bit like having life membership of a crematorium

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

From the experiences of another ex regular Summit user I know, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the reply.
