Just looking at all of the floodlighting which is still there… those are not cheap! Seems a shame for all that money to be spent on kit that gets used a few times and then abandoned.
As it is, the site seems to have little to no intrinsic value. Why not create or acquire drawings, inventory lists and photos of structural and mechanical components that comprise the site. Invite creative people to come up with alternate uses for it all. Just giving the materials to builders and artists would be better than just letting it all sit there rotting and rusting.
The blue machines – "Cables pull a miniature ice resurfacing machine up the inrun to produce the ice that is a few centimeters deep and 13.5 centimeters, or 5.3 inches, wide. The machine also produces small grooves in the ice so skis will not stick"
You need to carry on round to the bobsled track, and buildings. They are vast. There is also a derelict monorail that sits at the bottom of the station it was left in, in that town which was massively over developed for the olympics and it’s hardly been occupied since.
The reason its abandoned is average joe doesnt do ski jumping like that , thats for lunatics and theres big jumps in beter areas so they train there. So this one had no chance of make money.
its time things changed in the world and we stop all this waste , its actually obsean amounts of money wasted hear for what is a few weeks of display and then left to rack and ruin , build it once and use it as a venue for the sport for years to come even if it costs money to move competitors its got to be better for the environment and cheaper to reuse this
On a school skiing trip, we went skied on one of the women's downhill course, in 2015. No idea if it was abandoned then or not but wild to see how overgrown it all is.
A great video but for me it highlights the inevitable downfall of the human race. In the end something must give.
It’s surprising that matures taken it back so quickly tbh!
Well the thing is the infrastructure of the station hotel in Ayr compared to this well alot of difference 😬😬😬

And then abandoned 😢
the blue thing is the groomer
Very cool video. Kind of sad seeing it go back to nature
I think the cart would have been used to cut the tracks and surface the icy snow
This one is even more brilliant than your usual high standard!
Great video, such a waste seeing it abandoned, how many years as it used after the games
