I'd quite like to go, but wondered if anyone had been and if so what they thought of it?

Xscape*** my mother always says it wrong too, Xtreme, Hextreme, Hexscape.. any variation she can think of that's not Xscape :lol:

I get bored of it quickly but it is OK for an hour. Never enough snow on the up tracks but plenty coming down. Don't go Thursday-->Saturday because IME they always have park features out on those days.

Expensive for what it is but there are some credit crunch deals going on.

During the day always seems to be dead, avoid holidays.

Let us know how it is! I haven't been for a few months due to the availability of skiing up North. If you are taking your own kit don't take poles as you can pick some up there from the racks. (You can break your own poles pretty easily and it is a good thing to try and avoid)

Well I went this afternoon and had an hour on the slope. It was good, as there was only me and two other people there. An hour was certainly long enough, but it was good to practise my short turns.
