Description
The Xanadu snowdome covers an area of 24,000m², 18,000m² of which is for skiing. The longest of its two slopes, at 250m (55m wide at the top, 80m at the bottom and a maximum gradient of 26%). Snowdome can accommodate 750 skiers. PGC has limited admission to 300 to avoid queuing. The snow, at an average temperature of from –10C to –50C, is always perfect for skiing thanks to Acer Snowmec's patented snow-making technology, a chemical-free process that uses very small quantities of water mixed with air to make new snow every day. (24,000m²).
