Argh! The Anticipation...

I've been waiting far too long now. First it was on, then it was off, but it's back on again and it's well underway...

I'm talking about Chill Factor E, which is being built right alongside the Trafford Centre in Manchester. With a main slope length of 180 meters and a width of 100 meters, it's set to be quite a blizzard!

Using real snow, as oppose to a dry slope, Chill Factor E's opening date is set to be November this year according to the PR manager I was speaking with!

Here's a couple of pics of the current build state:

Oh and if you're wondering how snow is made, here's a quick tutorial.

I learned at the Tamworth Snowdome and as you can imagine traveling there from Manchester was quite a trek. I haven't boarded for a little while now, so gonna be taking full advantage of this North West Snow slope before I go abroad.

Visit the Chill Factor E website for more information.

All the best and hope to see you on the slope in the coming future! :D

Nah mate, the one in Manchester is going to be pretty central to a lot of people, according to the R & D they performed.

It's been a long time coming has this, first the Xanadu Project was thrown out and then this was delayed. But finally, we'll be getting something!
