Chillfactore opens tomorrow :D (16th)

So we're finally getting a snowdome up here in Manchester

Tomorrow the chillfactore opens up by the trafford centre..I went along today and had a sneak preview =) They are actually open right now but are not publicising it..as a result its very quiet - there were only about 10 people on the slopes today!

I went in for a 1hr30 session, and gotta say its the best snowdome i've been to yet. Its not that long, still takes a max of about 30 seconds to go down it..but its very wide with enough space to pull off a fair few turns (i'm a snowboarder) and the snow is great - very close to a real mountain (without the off piste ofc).

I'm sure things will change when it opens tomorrow and hordes of people arrive to churn it up, but at least i've had one great session there They were also building a dedicated snow-park when I was there, which should be open tomorrow too..can't wait for that, saw 2 rails, 6 jumps and some other bits to jump off.

Price was good too £14 for 1hr30 as a student, usually £17..including board/boots/bindings hire if you need it.

Can't wait to get back there - any other hexites planning to check it out over the next few weeks?

hehe sorry lee, sure you'll be fine anyway =)

They open @ 0730 on wednesdays too so theres always a chance to get on when its empty for a quick session before work
