Edinburgh City Council have proposed a £13.5 Million development at Midlothian Snowsports Centre (aka Hillend Dry Ski Slope), Edinburgh. The development, which is contingent on gaining funding from the lottery and other sources, would see loads of new facilities including;

• the longest artificial ski bump run in the UK, along with a ski jump and landing area
• a toboggan track serviced by an upgraded chairlift
• an indoor ice climbing wall, complete with viewing gallery and curling rink
• an indoor skateboard and wheeled sport facility
• a series of graded mountain bike trails will be built as a year-round national training centre
