Anyone else watch dragons den? Watching this eve there was a very short clip of some snowboarding thing, on what looks like 'carpet'... Anyone else see it?
I'm just intrigued and am wondering what it was as the pitch wasn't shown...

Episode 6 or 5 of this latest series had a pitch for a new artificial snowboarding surface. Had some female boarder who won some medals demoing it but I forget her name.
Sounded interesting but they didn't get any investment from the dragons, though. |

yeah, they wanted to charge the dry slopes, who have no money, lots of money to re-surface  |

| once of those things that looks like a nice idea but just not worth it one bit! I'm imagine that if outdoor dry slopes are going to invest that it'll be to change it to an indoor slope with "real" snow |

| I would imagine the investment in some new styled dendix might be less than building a whole new indoor slope... and far less impact on the old environment. |

Its called ProSlope and its designed to attach to the current mounts of dendix - so pretty smart as everything is about 'cutting costs' - far cheaper than snowflex too.
Its currently being installed at Snowtrax in christchurch (near me) so ill head down when they re-open and do a little review for you guys

Oh yeh, without a doubt I agree with you, I'm just saying that I'd imagine they'd rather invest a lot and be able to compete with the likes of MK and Hemel than just go with something like the new dryslope stuff |

| I like being outside... I for one would cherish a sick outdoor slope that wasn't £30 to ride. the dry slopes I have been to are usually about £6 to ride all day and some even have permanent fixtures, have you ridden much dry vicks? its serious fun |

So true, this city NEEDS a dome. Calshot, the alpine centre and snowtrax can all sod off, just give us a dome!!! |
