Madrid offers indoor skiing year-round

From Saturday's Globe and Mail

An indoor ski slope is making the winter sport available year-round in Madrid. The 17-storey Parque de Nieve, or Snow Park, is the centrepiece of the Madrid Xanadu, an enormous new shopping and leisure centre. The 250-metre-long slope is the largest indoor snow-sports facility in Europe.

The Xanadu is open every day of the year. It is also home to 220 stores, restaurants and entertainment outlets, including nightclubs, movie theatres, go-carts and bowling.

The centre is located in Arroyomolinos in the southwest part of the city, about a 20-minute drive from the central area.
