A new indoor snow centre for Holland may be built at Zuidlaren in the north east of the country.
The new facility would have three slopes, each 40 meters high, and 250-300m long with artificial snow at the location ´Prins Bernardhoeve´ in the town of Zuidlaren. The slopes would be build next to already existing halls.
The plan is the brainchild of John Franke, a former ice skater and cyclist, who now runs the sports event company Easy Sport & Events.
To break even the facility would need 165,000 visitors in the first year, but Mr Franke predicsts 300,000 visitors to cross the facilities turnstiles.
There are two competing plans for the proposed location and the government will decide which goes forward in May.
