Chillfactore has the potential to be one of the stand out indoor snowslopes in the UK and Europe but is let down by the lack of attention to freestyle nights including the lack new features and not maintaining the old ones but mainly how infrequent the freestyle nights / events are.
A lot of domes in Europe offer permanent features, the Netherlands for example which is bringing on some the best new rail riders in the world shown recently in events like rock a rail and also in some of the postland theory edits:

The regular freestyle riders, myself included, would love to ride chillfactore more often but we end up driving to Tamworth, Castleford, Millton Keynes, Hemmel and Glasgow on a regular basis because the nights are often better and are on more regularly, twice a week at most domes.
A lot of other domes make more effort towards the freestyle Snow Centre producing video edits of each freestyle week for example.Chillfactore is missing out on so much potential and for more people to advertise and encourage people to use the dome more regularly. See links bellow for some examples:

A move to more permanent features at chillfactore and more regular freestyle nights would bring in a lot of riders from all over the country. More people at the dome is helpful to chillfactore and all the businesses and shops in and around the faculty.
There are many times I have visted chillfactore on a none freestyle night to find the slope dead with very few people using the faculty.

Domes in other countries have features out every day of the week. There should always be at least 1 feature out

There's a lot of potential in Manchester and the surrounding areas, and the lack of parks in the past couple years is stumping potential future athletes, and others that may gain a good quality of life and or career path through this industry. It can make money if done correctly, you just need the right people on board (or skii's ;))

Skiers/boarders who rode all year round want this! CFe need a following and positive 'press'. Look after the regular skiers/snowboarder, they'll bring their friends, post photos and talk about how good CFe is again rather than 'used to be'.
Yes please
Please please bring back weekly freestyle nights
