I work as a ski instructor at Castleford Xscape which is possibly one of the numbest buildings i have ever seen, it literally looks like a big pile of concrete has been constructed into a shape. However Manchester's new equivalent ski slope, Chill Factore is a much more interesting design. The top of the slope is elevated into the sky and the whole thing is lit up like a Christmas tree, if you're driving down the M62 you actually can't miss it! I think the design of the slope is much more interesting than Xscape and much more likely to be noticed. I don't think they'll be winning any awards for being environmentally friendly but then i imagine indoor ski slopes rarely do!

The design of the Chill factor is very cool, much more elegent and sophisticated that the Xscape. Although the design creates problems for the interior of the Chill factor. The interior is way too small and the slope itself is practically nothing! I know the Xscape is a whole complex of things like cinema but at least you've got a huge sense of space! Not a fan of Chill factor although the design is cool!
