Chill Factore found that following the last Winter Olympics that all the snow sports businesses saw a massive increase in popularity.
Cheif Executive Morwenna Angove Said; “If the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 are anything to go, then we will certainly see an uplift after the Olympics are over.”
The Guardian dubbed this 2014 phenomenon “ski and snowboard fever”.
The facility is home to the largest slope in the UK, spanning 180 metres, seeing many travel in the local area to make use of it.
I have so much respect for all the Olympic athletes. All of the challenges they had to face, the aches and pains, the worries and the doubts. Whew!
