Plans have been submitted for proposed new slope developments at Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend.
The proposed developments will cost around £1/2million and are being paid for by funding secured from Sportscotland, the national agency for sport.
Planned improvements include:
* An additional 210 metre slope on the hill
* 80 metres of new nursery slope
* Extension and improvement work to the existing nursery slopes with new, safer ski matting
* Exciting new snowtubing runs
* Installation of two new travellator uplift systems
A planning application detailing the proposals has been submitted to Midlothian Council for consideration by the planning committee. Midlothian Council, which owns and runs Midlothian Snowsports Centre, has worked closely with an expert team of designers on the plans. The developments are designed to improve the skiing experience for beginners as well as regular skiers and snowboarders.
This is in addition to the enhanced, new snowtubing facilities which are sure to be a fun new way for non-skiers/snowboarders to take to the slopes.
