The old website has been replaced with a new one at www.xscape.co.uk/miltonkeynes/snow. There's not much on it, but it does mention that online booking should be available at the start of next year. If you look at the prices, there's no mention of the board-only session on Friday nights.

These are the rumours and unofficial hearsay concerning the Blackthorn Park plans for the Snozone next year. About £2500 is to be made available for equipment. It should hit the slopes April/May next year. Xscape aren't giving too much away, but Blackthorn have said that suggestions and costs have ....More...

We've been suggesting it for a while, but TEO has emailed us to tell us that a Dendix ramp was indeed out on Friday night at Snozone.

Following on from yesterday's post, we've been told that there will be no jumps at Snozone tonight whilst they clear the park slope of old snow. If you're going for freestyle, you're going to be disappointed.

Thursday 27th June 2002

We've heard that Snozone are spending some time clearing two foot of snow from their slopes to replace it with some shiny new snow.

Monday 24th June 2002

We've mentioned this before, but we guess another reminder wouldn't do any harm.Although, they do occassionally break down, the reason for Snozone's Pomas often stopping is we're afraid, down to the slope users themselves.

Snozone have their new rainbow rail out in place of the long straight rail at the bottom of the slope. We haven't seen it but readers say it's short, about 2-3ft high with a nice run in, but icy landing. Apparently, it's really easy to ride. We'll possibly have some pictures next week.

We're assuming that this will be used as a firmer base for the snow rather than the surface on which you actually ride. The technique is used frequently on the temporary slopes with ....More...

Snozone held the title of "Largest Indoor Real Snow Slope" in Europe for about 10 weeks. Although disputed, Snozone took the title from the Uithof dome in the Netherlands which, although longer, was not as wide.But this Sunday, both these slopes will be blown out of the water when the Alpincenter ....More...

You may want to read that headline again. It's true and straight from Snozone's Nicci Griffiths. It's amazing what a box of chocolates will do.Nicci says that although nothing is definite yet, the prices of the special sessions will be reduced - notably the snowboarding only session on Friday.....More...

So the rumours of a half-pipe weren't quite on the mark, but Snozone is to get a semi-permanent snowboard park, which isn't half bad even if it isn't half-pipe.The park will include a new tabletop on the 15° slope at the top. This is being described as "big" with accompanying "plane in flight" ....More...

Wednesday 22nd November 2000

Sobe will also be dishing out their drinks, one of which is specifically "....More...

Thursday 16th November 2000

We have it from a very reliable source that Snozone is to get a pipe. We speculated a few months ago that this would be a real international winner for the first slope to do it. Top riders would come from all over the world to keep their hand in during the Summer months. At the moment we have no ....More...

Okay, you have to go and work for Snozone, but it seems they have a load of jobs available in the rental department and also as Poma assistants. We suggest you try giving them a ring on 01908 230260 or turning up in person. We're assuming that a Poma assistant is somebody who pulls people up the ....More...

Monday 13th November 2000

Everybody says Snozone is too expensive and the new owners, Capital and Regional Properties, seem to be doing something about it. At Board-X, Snozone were handing out vouchers entitling you to 20% off all recreational slope prices and entry into a free prize draw to win free slope time for you and .... More...

Monday 6th November 2000

They were taken to hospital, but have subsequently been discharged. The Health and Safety Executive ....More...

Thursday 2nd November 2000

Snozone's recorded message changed some time today to let us all know that although we can make bookings for the slope, the slope will actually be closed until Monday morning. Shame they can't update the website so quickly. That dynamic medium still tells us the news of the slope's opening some ....More...

Monday 30th October 2000

We've had reports from Milton Keynes that the police have been forced to close some of the roads around Xscape due to the danger of flying roof material. From a distance the damage this weekend's storms have done to the roof is clearly visible. The slope will be closed for repairs and we'll let you ..More...

Friday 20th October 2000

We hear a rumour that Capital & Regional Properties are interested in taking over running the Snozone on a permanent basis. This company developed Xscape and obviously has a vested interest in seeing the flagship attraction to Xscape do well.

After several hours of free boarding at Snozone, courtesy of Healthand, we thought it was about time to take the plunge and see how good it was when we had to pay for our time. We booked by phone the previous Monday and were told there were lots of places left, up to the maximum of 250 slope users. ..More...

Monday 16th October 2000

An inside source says that a group of Dutch businessmen were being shown around the Snozone last week. The Dutch have a lot of experience in running indoor slopes, but we have no idea whether the group are interested in the Snozone, Xscape or Healthland. In fact we don't even know who they are. ....More...

Wednesday 11th October 2000

Whilst Healthland sort out their little problems, the Frequent Visitor Scheme has been put on hold. The FV Scheme was already to go and it will happen one day, but until then there's no discount available unles you are a full member of the Healthland Gym. We also hear that you need to book for the ....More...

Healthland, who run the Snozone at Xscape issued an official statement on the future of the slope and health club. It read: "An announcement was made today that the Healthland International Limited is unable to meet its obligations to credits and Leisurenet Limited, its South African quoted parent ....More...

Saturday 7th October 2000

It was reported in both The Saturday Times and the Milton Keynes Sunday Citizen that Healthland have called in the receivers. A £70m deal with Virgin Active has falled through, although it looks likely that all the Healthland sites and developments will be snapped up pretty quickly by the likes of ....More...

Friday 6th October 2000

Rip Off Warning! Just after publishing this recent article on the high prices at Snozone, we heard this little story.An experienced boarder recently took to the slopes of Milton Keynes. On the desk he was asked about his ability. He said he had done all the lessons at Tamworth. When asked about ....More...

Friday 29th September 2000

The Snozone will open this Monday. We have an invite to have a play on the slopes later today and have a chat with Healthland. Healthland have released this Press Release.

Saturday 23rd September 2000

Oi! You can't use cameras. No photographs. Nobody told me. I've been taking them all day... Why not? We're not open to the public and there's some unofficial websites we have to be careful about. That's me! I popped around to my neighbours last week to see if they fancied a curry. Instead .... More...

News from Stu Brass's Soulsports has the Burton Demo Tour Event in Milton Keynes on Friday 6th October. The events starts at 6pm and will premiere the Burton 2001 videos splayed across two huge screens on the outside of the Xscape building. You will also get a chance to try out all the 2001 Burton ..More...

Healthland may be in a position to name a date within the next few weeks. This is looking good, with full on snow falling at the moment and intense training of their staff, I think we can hope for an early October opening. Don't forget - no official date as yet!!

Monday 18th September 2000

A casual enquirer has been told by Healthland that the Snozone will open midweek, to avoid the place being mobbed. As suspected the date of the 22nd now seems unlikely and dates of the 27th September and 4th October are being banded around. Remember that these dates are rumours and until the slope ..More...

Monday 11th September 2000

Recent information has started to materialise about the economic viability of the new slope. The recent snowmaking problems are due to freezing up of Acer Snowmec's snow cannons. Ice has been forming under the nozzles, because the air temperature is not low enough and water from the nozzles is ....More...

More reports of definite dates, although nothing directly from Healthland. Other reports are for the 22nd September

Olie is a Healthland gym member and has sent in this photo of the slope. It gives a good impression of the scale of the slope and you can also see the changing contours on the run down, plus much of the hardware and software. The Boarder now has an invite to view Snozone and we just need to .... More...

Thursday 7th September 2000

The Boarder has received more information from Healthland on how they expect the slope to be used. As we already know, uplift for the main slopes will be via Poma button lift. Healthland realise this may cause problems for less experienced boarders, but say the minimum requirement for recreational ..More...

Wednesday 6th September 2000

Healthland have revealed that the SnoZone is to be expensive indeed. Rumours of reduced follow on hours are unfounded. If you are not a Frequent Visitor then expect to pay £20 for every hour you're on the slope. If you decide to fork out the £75 for an adult Frequent Visitor membership ..More...

The following imsages are taken from Snozone's guided tour, but we thought we'd link to the images here. The images have now gone. The slope with some sort of dodgy white covering and the boarder friendly Poma groin ripper.

Monday 4th September 2000

A leaflet from SnoZone reveals that Friday night will be the snowboarding only night. The session will last from 8pm until 11pm and cost £40. This is almost twice the price of the equivalent session at Tamworth and the equivalent of about 3 days worth of lift passes in Europe.

Tuesday 29th August 2000

The Boarder has managed to get the Frequent Visitor rates for Snozone from Healthland. The cost will be £75 for adults and £35 for junior members. These figures are fairly reasonable and should make a big difference for... er... frequent visitors. The final information is still in ....More...

Monday 28th August 2000

Saturday 26th August 2000

The snow-making process had to be stopped to perform some work on the slope and so the opening is delayed to beyond August. We may be able to get an early look at the ....More...

Friday 28th July 2000

If you want to find out about the Snozone, then you'll be wanting to visit the new Snozone website. The Boarder's opinion of the Xscape site is that it's Flash 4. What more needs to be said? The Snowzone site is much better although currently missing a few graphics.. There's no mention of any ....More...

Wednesday 26th July 2000

The rumours about the lack of snow on the slope is apparently unfounded. Healthland have said that the reason for the delay is a number of small issues. Healthland say that the fitness centre will open Monday 31st July.

Monday 17th July 2000

Natives have reported that the reason for the delay is that they can't get enough snow to fall in the dome.

Thursday 6th July 2000

Monday 26th June 2000

The Boarder has received a response from Healthland who will run the Snozone within Xscape. All the pricing information is given above, but interestingly they will not be offering a discount period like Tamworth. You either go peak or off-peak and it's not going to be cheap.More information here.

Friday 23rd June 2000

The Boarder received its press preview day invite. The date is set for 25th July and assuming the following day is the grand opening as before, the slope should open to the public on the 27th. I even get to have a slide during the day long preview and a climb on their climbing walls. Photos and a ....More...

Thursday 22nd June 2000

The Snozone at Xscape will now not open until the end of July 2000. No reason is given, but they have suggested that this date is pretty definite. The Boarder has requested more information on the delay and also on pricing and will keep you up to date as always.

Milton Keynes snow village almost finished. Europe's largest indoor 'real' snow slope at Milton Keynes is nearing completion, with the opening date set for 5 July.

Although the bars, shops and cinema will be open by the end of May, the Snozone will not be open until 1st July 2000. That's a whole painful month longer than originally thought. However, the Snowboard Asylum User Forum has the date down as 29th June, so who can tell?

Thursday 28th October 1999

Gill Weeks went to a meeting last night with the Xscape developers and a guy from Healthland. Seems like they're undecided on snowmaking at this stage; either Acer Snowmec or Polar Snow. They had pictures of Snow Planet in Holland which, they say, is a similar design to Xscape. We think this uses ....More...

Wednesday 20th October 1999

The building is to be handed over from developers in early May 2000 and should be open to the public on 25th May 2000. There's a main run with posts down the centre and a separate beginners' area.
