Intersport Servienetwork Know-How for europe biggest Snow Park Germany opens Europe’s largest indoor Snow Funpark in Wittenburg Wittenburg (sgh) – After just eight months of construction period, Europe’s largest Snow Funpark will open in Wittenburg in Northern Germany on 8 December 2006 with a grand opening weekend. The new snow sports hall located seventy kilometres east of Hamburg is the first in the world with an indoor half pipe suitable for competitions. On a snow covered inside area measuring 30,000 square metres, there are two slopes with a gradient between 10 and 31 percent, a practice slope for beginners, a fun park for snowboarders as well as the first roofed half pipe on the planet suitable for competitions. The main slope is 330 metres long and 80 metres wide; with a length of 130 metres, a width of 20 metres and 4.50 metres high side walls, the mega pipe meets international competition standards. „When we started building this hall one of our objectives was to attract international events,” says Snow Funpark owner Hans-Gerd Hanel. “With a large event and restaurant area and our own hotel sleeping 256 guests we created the obligatory infrastructure. The Snow Funpark is much more than a ski hall. It is an event arena. In the future, we can host anything - seminars and conferences, product launches, concerts and, of course, sports events.” The ultra-modern snow sports hall fulfils highest demands as it applies only state-of-the-art products ranging from snow making facilities and the Doppelmayr chair lift to light engineering. A brand-new Intersport shop stretches over 2,400 square metres and offers, apart from up to date rental skis and snowboards, anything that skiers or snowboarders might wish for. www.snowfunpark.com
