Revolutionary new ski matting arrives!

26th July 2011 By 2 min read

Exciting news…

We’re the first slope in the UK to upgrade to the latest Ski Mat design. In our opinion the new surface is the most realistic available, using cutting edge design & technology. Extensive testing has been carried out over the last few months & feedback has been phenomenal.

UPDATE 1/3/12 – Freestyle nights start on Sunday at 7pm. We’ll have a few features out, but the big kicker/hip is not quite ready yet, although testing & tweaking has begun, as you can see….

UPDATE 3/2/12 – From top to bottom is done, come & test it out!! Just the Hip and the curve to finish! The excitement is overflowing here at Snowtrax. We can’t wait for our first freestyle evening! Final delivery of matting estimated for mid Feb.
