We've been reporting on the proposals for an indoor slope in Pembroke, Wales since 2002, but it seems the development is now moving forwards:

Bluestone, a unique £110million green holiday village in the heart of West Wales launched today, will have a major economic impact on the region, creating 900 full time jobs, boosting local businesses and injecting £32m into the economy annually.

That was the message of Andrew Davies, Minister for Enterprise, Innovation and Networks today when he and Bluestone Chief Executive William McNamara, officially launched the project and said work would start immediately.

Bluestone anticipate the high quality holiday village will bring in up to 100,000 new high value staying visitors annually, while the two new all weather facilities, a sub tropical water world and snow centre, are each anticipated to attract 250,000 day visitors a year, with the capacity to accommodate a million.
