The Wycombe Summit was a dry ski slope situated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. It has been closed since 22 November 2006, when a fire destroyed the lodge. ==Dry Ski Slope Centre== The ski slope opened in 1994 and was situated in Abbey Barn Lane, just south of High Wycombe. The main slope was one of England's longest dry ski slopes, at 300m long. Though with two longer slopes, at 350m and 320m long, Sheffield has two longer slopes. Facilities on the site included a ski equipment shop, restaurant and bar.〔 In 1998 a 13-year-old was killed at the ski centre after a 'catalogue of errors by Wycombe Summit Ltd' led to a foreseeable accident. A prosecution by the HSE led to fines of £13,500 and payment of costs of £10,000. Crucially, local people lost confidence in the ability of the Ski Centre to take care of the safety of skiers The summit was liable for £2 million of debt from its construction costs, and in 2003 was briefly closed down and placed into receivership. However it reopened later that year under the management of SnowDome Group Ltd, who also own and operate the Tamworth SnowDome. The Wycombe Summit then continued trading until 2006. In August 2004, SnowDome Group revealed they were in talks with Wycombe District Council to replace the dry ski slope with one using artificial snow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wycombe Summit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
