SnoDome vs. Mountain

is it just me or does anyone else think that once you have been on a mountain, the SnoDome feels like a waste??

the slopes at Xscape are a fraction of a piste and i find myself just going straight down and seeing how late i can leave it before i have to stop. Smile lol

anyone think the same??

Well it beats the dry slopes......they are ok on ski`s but on a board the dry slope is very hard to get on.

The 1 and only time i was used a dry slope i dislocated 3 fingers.

Me personally i`d rather pay slightly more and use a snowdome......just a shame they are not longer Crying

I kind of like a 3 hour session at Tamworth every now and again, it's more again again again, like time at a skatepark than a ski resort but fun and I feel it keeps me in tune with me board, dosen't half hurt when you do wipe out compared to real snow and trashes your trousers. Cool

I was in Dubai 2 weeks ago and went to the worlds largest indoor ski center and all I can say is WOW, makes Tamworth look like a joke. Type Skidubai in to google and you will see what I mean.

Obviously Dubai is a bit far to travel for a practice, Tamworth is much better than a dry slope.
