 Poster: A snowHead
|
I believe planning permission was granted in April, and the original plan was that it would open in 2006.
Does anyone know what stage they are at with this?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

For those who don't know - Chill Factor E is the snow dome planned for Manchester.

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

Good question. A quick Google uncovered this interesting news release from the Trafford Centre, where it's to be located. The team behind it are very knowledgeable in the ski biz, so if it happens it should be the best snowdome in the country.
David Sterland, who's mentioned in that release, is on the ski environmental committee I sit on, so I'll ask him next time I bump into him.
In the meantime, snowboardclub.co.uk have more about the plans - with links - on this page.

David Goldsmith,
Thanks - I'd seen those articles too, but they're a bit out of date. I've seen an ad for instructors for it, so I guess it's looking pretty likely it'll go ahead. Not sure if they've started construction yet - if they had I think we'd have heard about it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sounds like they want the instructors to build it!

I emailed Andrew Lockerbie who is one of the people behind this project and he said they plan to open in 2007. So still quite a way off then
