Les 2 Alpes is going to be home to a brand new quad chairlift for winter 2010-2011. This new addition to the snowboard resort is one of the many upgrades that are being made in preperation for the coming snowboard season.
The new list will cost 2.7 million euros to build and it’s main aim is to improve the access to the La Fee sector of the snowboard resort. The new chairlift will be 474metres long and 164 metres high and it is estimated to carry 2,000 people per hour.
The new chairlift is already being worked on, the seven new lift towers are being installed this month and they plan to have everything read for testing in October so that the lift can be fully operational by November.
Some of the other improvements you can expect to see at Les 2 Alpes snowboard resort include a drastic improvment of the signage throughout the resort with more than 500 directional arrows, 160 sign posts and 15 electronic notice boards with scrolling information being installed over the next 2 years at a cost of over 1 million euros.
The areas of La Fee and Thuit are also being improved. There are plans to protect power lines and improve the safety of the resort employess by spending 700,000 euros on new CATEX avalanche triggers.
Sheffield Ski Village has been undergoing some major improvements recently, one of the most drastic being the delivery of almost £11,000 worth of new Dendix that will be used to replace the worn out parts of the snowboarding dryslope. The summer period at UK dryslopes can be very quiet and so staff at Sheffield Ski Village will be taking advantage of this and replacing the larger sections of the slope in preperation for Autumn when the snowboarding dryslope starts to get busy again.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) has announced that it has approved a U.S. proposal to allow snowboarding slopestyle and team snowboardcross into the FIS World Snowboard Championships.
Hopefully this decision will be the first step in the right direction to make slopestyle and snowboardcross a part of the 2014 winter Olympic Games. To ensure that a sport is included in the Olympics, it has to be in two world championships overseen by an international governing body (in this case FIS).
The IOC now have to decide if they will include snowboard slopestyle and snowboardcross in the Olympics. The decision is to be expected sometime in 2011.
