 Poster: A snowHead
|
The world's first snowdome was Mount Thebarton in Adelaide, Australia - a converted ice-rink. This has now been dismantled. The second - Ski Casablanca in Belgium - is now said to have an uncertain future.
This report from SkiRebel magazine.

A notice on the centre’s website says, “The ski centre is closed during the summer for an indefinite period.”

Ski Casablanca's website:

Anyone skied at Ski Casablanca?
Wikipedia has a page on the world's snowdomes, which needs an update. Maybe the Red Jackets of Hemel Hempstead could perform the necessary edit:

I know that 'Snow Hunter' Patrick Thorne of Snow24.com, who operates from the Inverness area, also keeps a database of snowdomes around the world, for anyone interested.

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

Bizarre that they are building one in Wycombe, which a quick look at google maps tells me is not really that far from Hemel Hempsted. Is there really enough demand for that?

chrisb, agreed. Castleford is probably your nearest but that's still a fair old journey. I'm slap bang between Castleford and Tamworth, just over an hour away to each.
Hemel Hempsted and Wycombe really not that far away from Milton Keynes either. These southerners get everything.

queen bodecia, no they don't. They don't have the Derbyshire Peaks for a start.

Need one south of the river.

achilles, fair point, but there is rarely any snow on the Derbyshire Peaks and only one gondola lift!
