About the event
In Wilrijk on the southern edge of Antwerp, SnowWorld runs a ski hall on real snow kept at about −5 °C. The main slope is 240 m long and 50 m wide; three conveyor lifts serve the beginners' area and there is a funpark for freestylers. You book a time slot online, and your pass time stops whenever you leave the slope. Helmets are compulsory and lent free; ski or snowboard hire is added when booking. Tip: the first half hour of parking is free, after that it costs €2 to €7.50 depending on how long you stay.
