Rushmoor Borough Council has said that the Alpine Snowsports Centre in Aldershot, Hampshire, is expected to reopen later this month “with a new operator at the helm”.

Places Leisure, which currently operates and manages Aldershot Pools and Lido on behalf of the council, will be running the centre while the local authority explores long-term options for the facility.

Dave Jolliffe, area manager at Places Leisure, said he hoped the reopening “will create more opportunities for people to become active and enjoy sports that are not always as easily accessible”.

The facility was built by the British Army in 1969 and was one of the longest synthetic ski slopes built in England at the time.
