Indoor ski slope to be world’s highest

A £300 MILLION (€450m) ski leisure resort is to be created in England complete with the world’s highest indoor real-snow slope, it was announced yesterday.

The SnOasis resort, which could be open by 2007, will be built at Great Blakenham, Suffolk.

Helping create 3,000 jobs, and likely to attract two million visitors a year, the resort will be home to a National Winter Sports Academy and is designed for full-time and leisure skiers.
