A huge new dry ski slope has opened at Aprilia Park, located in Romania's Gorj County.

The new slope, supplied by Italian company Neveplast who also supplied the surface for the famous power plant ski slope in Copenhagen, is 311 metres long and has three tubing courses running alongside the ski slope: two straight tracks measuring 166 metres each, and one track with two parabolic curves measuring 176 metres.

The slope's surface area of over 7,000 square meters, places it in the top 25 in the world by size.

"After a lot of effort and hope, tens of thousands of cubic metres of excavated soil, thousands of working hours, hundreds of technicians, collaborators and people involved in the project, dozens of machines and all in only one year the Aprilia Park complex is ready for the inauguration of its incredible all year round ski slope," a spokesperson for The Aprilia Park said.

Aprilia Park is best known for its water park, operating since 2011, and also offers a variety of activities besides skiing, including basketball, beach volleyball, ping pong. There are also 4,000 square metres of beach and three large hot water pools.
