"Snowtunnel Park is dubbed the world's first indoor skiing structure that rotates, has its own downhill slopes, and lets users glide around it all year round. Set to inaugurate in 2027, the design team, consisting of snow and action sports entrepreneurs, plans to install the structure around Australia, starting in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Its main feature is the rotating tunnel that recreates the movement and surface of real snow slopes."
"The Snowtunnel Park that will open in Australia rotates with variable speed control. The surface moves under the riders at controlled speeds, allowing beginners, learners, and experienced users to ride safely. The rotating system creates what the designers call an endless mountain. Riders stay in place while the snow moves below them, making it possible to ski or board without needing a large mountain or long track. The Snowtunnel is built with a metal frame that holds the rotating inner cylinder."
Snowtunnel Park is a rotating indoor ski facility opening in Australia from 2027, with initial sites planned for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The central element is a rotating tunnel 12.5 meters high and 16 meters long, lined with real snow produced daily by a TechnoAlpin snowmaking system and groomed into smooth ridges for continuous skiing and snowboarding. Variable-speed sensors and motors adjust the moving surface for beginner through expert users, allowing riders to remain stationary while the snow simulates downhill travel. Each insulated building covers about 3,000 square meters and offers more than 600 square meters of rideable snow and learning areas.
