ise,

02 slopes = 45 meters. At a guess the gradient is about 40 degrees. It is not the usual dry ski slope material more like plastic carpet.


Tony,

I agree that the only place worth skiing is the real thing but at least Chill Factor or Escape are ok (ish)for warming up those muscles before a trip. The 02 imo really is not worth bothering with for any reason.

...are a complete rip off! I have been there today and to be honest we didn't even bother using our tickets, the slope itself is so short (I'd say a 10 second run top to bottom)and stairs are the only way back up. It is a plastic surface not snow as people were led to believe. Really disappointing.

If you were thinking about going my advice is DON'T.

Brimster,

glad that the hotel's not far to walk as for the steep slope I'll allocate that part of the journey to my Oh. :lol: :wink:!

It didn't load as I wanted it to. :( The whole album was accessible... the other pictures were of a local lake and dam - nothing risqué :evil:

But just to load the image of the snow gun didn't work for me. I don't understand as it, like yours, is from photobucket . I'll work on it later and find my error.

When you hover over the image in photobucket, a list of codes appear under the image. Copy the third one down (I think) the code/link that begins with [img] then paste it onto your post.

Hope that's helpful :lol:

I caught a glimpse of your image Mike...where has it gone?

Here's mine





:wink:
