New snowdome for Manchester

Work has begun on the new Chill Factore snowdome in Manchester, which is due to open in October 2007.

The new dome will be next to the Trafford shopping centre and will include three interconnecting slopes of varying difficulties. The combined slope length will be 180m (the longest in the country), with a vertical drop of 40m.

According to the Chill Factore website, this will be "a place where active lifestyle shops, themed bars and contemporary restaurants create an authentic alpine village".

I wonder if they'll have a few bell-wearing goats and sheep roaming the slopes in that case.
