The UK’s three Skiplex indoor ski centres are in the process of going into liquidation.

The three Skiplex centres, at Reading, Basingstoke and Chiswick each contained special indoor ski machines which allow skiers to descend a continually moving artificial surface slope which moves up towards them – a kind of skiing equivalent of a runner’s treadmill.

It may not all be bad news however, there are reported to be some interested parties who may buy one or more of the centres; and there is also interest from others to buy the actual machines themselves.

“I worked with Skiplex three years ago when they had just launched the Reading and Basingstoke centres and I thought it was a great fun concept and another positive addition to the UK ski market. I’m sorry to hear that the company hasn’t been able to survive in this tough climate,” said Vanessa Fisher of Vanessa Fisher PR

A further Skiplex centre had been ear-marked for a new multi-sports complex proposed for Bristol, but clearly that now seems unlikely.
