Chill Factor E
The Chill Factor E is an indoor skiing and snowboarding centre located in Trafford Park,
Manchester. You have probably seen it as it is quite difficult to miss, the building is huge
and is clearly visible from a distance and is apparently the longest indoor snow slope in the
country.
It even has real snow which is a bit puzzling but makes for great fun and does not hurt as
much as the dry ski slopes when not if you fall over. It is very cold though to maintain the
temperature required so the ‘real’ snow does not melt.
The Chill Factor E is proud to be named the United Kingdom’s premier snowsports centre of
excellence and the winner of the Manchester tourism ‘access for all’ award 2010. They offer
something to everyone from taster and beginner lessons to flying solo on the 180 metre long
slope.
There is more to the chill factor than just skiing and snowboarding though, there is
something to keep everybody entertained and these include an indoor climbing wall, a
magical snow play and a sixty metre long slope for luge to enjoy some exhilarating tubing
and ideal for the younger kids who may not quite be tall enough or old enough to ski or
snowboard yet. Beginner’s lessons are also available.
The Chill Factor E also has a good number of bars, restaurants and cafes to choose from, so
whether it’s just a quick drink in between zooming up and down the slopes or a nice relaxing
meal after a hard day climbing the wall there should be something that appeals to you.
Whatever your preferences or tastes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the choice on offer
and could even engage in a little retail therapy at the Alpine Street. There are shops by top
outdoor clothing brands like the North Face and Quicksilver and many others.
Groups and parties are a welcome at the Chill Factor E and are well accommodated for
whether it is a children’s party, corporate team building event or just a group of mates
wanting to have a good laugh together the place has something to provide a fun filled day of
snow based fun.
It can mix and match a package to your group booking,for instance you may want to ski and
then do some climbing and then finish with a meal .None of this should be a problem and it
even accepts stag and hen dos.
