The ‘LinkedIn post by Downes’ further stated that at more than 90,000 sq/m, the ‘Snow World’ features three ski trails with snow coverage of more than 45,000 sq/m and an elaborate Winter themed snow play park providing a wide variety of activities for all age groups over multiple floors of the 60 m high venue.

The broader project includes an Olympic-sized ice rink, 20,000 sqm water park, shopping mall, and more than 1,000 four and five star hotel rooms, operated by the Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG). Axis is responsible for taking the operational aspects of the ‘Snow World’ project through the construction and handover phase, through to its grand opening, including all aspects of operational preparation, human resources and sales and marketing. After more than two years of setbacks, the Shanghai area is certainly ready for the ‘Snow World’ to bring the joy of ice and snow to the region, and to showcase the advancements that China is making in the world of Winter sports.
