They've taken their time with this like.
Must be at least 5 years ago when they were going to do this.
No doubt that gobshite Ben Houchen will be telling everyone that he has sorted it all out.

The child prostitutes out the back of the station used to attract more visitors.

The Boro one will be more like if you put a wooden shed over Silksworth Ski Slope.

I think the current economic situation might change their minds about any snow dome in the NE unfortunately.

Went to Ski Dubai not long after it opened ,40c outside but about -2c inside, I lasted about an hour before I was bored.

Decent or reasonable standard skiers might visit once or twice, but not on a regular basis imho.

I’d be worried about the long term sustainability of such an investment.

After the success of the Eston Hills dry ski slopes I can see why this is such a natural fit for Middlesbrough.

Ok for absolute beginners or just to get ya legs dialled in a bit before a ski trip.

A good half dozen thriving elsewhere like. Be pleased if it happens.

Sounds cool. I heard the developers got a frosty reception when they proposed it and the project was put on ice. The council got cold feet and was in danger of going downhill. But the project has snowballed since.

I’m not saying I don’t want it to happen or be a success, I just can’t see it as a long term viable business up here.
