Went this friday , opening night , ski looks good with slalom and jumps and rails etc , wasnt busy either could have got on the slopes easiliy. I didnt take my gear thinking the same but wish i would have now. Quite a few good shops but not all the eateries are open , so we went to the trafford centre. Bars are good though.
Went on Saturday! The Skiing was pritty good. Got a bit repetitive after a while, but all the same was good to get a pair of skis on. My Girlfriend had a slightly different experience. She went on the taster ski lesson.She got to learn which end the front, or tip was, which way up the ski went and how to go around in a circle on one ski. She has use of both legs by the way! £22 for the pleasure.
Slopes are very much the same at both , but xscape is better overall , maybe thats just because its established and everything is open , give it a couple of months and there will probably be nothing between them
