SCOTLAND'S only indoor ski slope is closed until further notice after the firm that runs it appointed a liquidator.
Snow Factor at XSite Braehead will cease trading for now after the issuing of a court order.
The centre in Renfrewshire went into administration last year, according to Companies House records, and a voluntary liquidator was appointed on November 7.
A statement released by the company on Tuesday said: "Following ongoing legal proceedings and a subsequent court order, Snow Factor at XSite Braehead will be closed from today until further notice."
The self-described "longest indoor real snow slope in the UK" has advised customers with existing bookings to get in touch by phone or by email.
The company said: "Any enquiries about existing bookings should be directed to customercare@snowfactor.com or 0141 885 7000."
Snow Factor's parent company, Ice Factor Group, also owns Ice Factor Kinlochleven in the Highlands.
XSite has said that its other businesses, including shops and restaurants, will stay open.
The statement continued: “Customers can continue to enjoy everything else that XSite has to offer, including fantastic shops, restaurants and leisure, such as Gravity, Odeon, Nando’s, Climbzone, Paradise Island Adventure Golf, TGI Fridays, Five Guys and many more.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
