Take a clean board on and then check the base after 3 hours of boarding, have a guess as to what the black stuff is (and no, it isnt snow)
Actually I think the area at the top of the towrope is mainly used by snowboarders to try and avoid the skiiers who snake there way down from the top like lemmings.
It was a couple of months ago. I never noticed anything black on the snow so that's a puzzle.
I thought from seeing boarders at the top that it's a bit faster for them, somehow.
Coincidentally, I got some information from the Snowdome today with vouchers for reductions on different activities, including 3 hours of recreational skiing or boarding. You might be getting them around now also.
With a slope of 170m of pure ice and tractor diesel, with snow so fucking slow you might aswell take your board off and walk, with a tow rope that stops every 2 minutes and has a maximum capacity of 4 people, the snowdome is indeed a fantastic place to get pissed off, and do some of the slowest boarding in your life!
Also available is a bar that will require you to take out a second mortgage to get a pint of beer.
Wow, that place sucks, compared to real mountains...

When did you actually last go there?

I don't know what you mean about diesel. I didn't find the tow rope stopped and it had quite a few people on it at once.
There is an area for snowboarders at the top of the towrope. I thought that was because descending from the top was too fast for many.
