Old Dry Ski Slope
Highlight • Structure
As well as an entertainment venue, the ski centre had one floodlit 110-metre Dendrix artificial ski slope with four jumps ranging between 0.3 metres and 1.8 metres in height. There were also two other learning slopes together with an electric lift and wheelhouse.
Both the entertainment venue and the ski centre closed in 2007 but remained derelict for many years. Despite several suggested failed schemes for turning the centre into an arts centre, a hotel, the ski lodge was finally demolished in February 2017 but for the present the ski slope still scars the hillside.
