Indoor ski slope
|
|
Indoor ski slopes are found in several countries, proving a climate controlled environment can be maintained in which snow can be manufactured using a snow cannon, enabling skiing to take place year-round.
The World's first indoor slope was Mt Thebarton in Adelaide Australia and that's still open to this day.
One of the largest was the 500m SSAWS. It opened in 1993 in Tokyo, Japan, although there are plans to demolish it for the construction of a commercial and residential development.
