Chill Factore skiers set a new Guinness World Record!
Hot Stuff at Chill Factore as skiers set new Guinness World Record
Manchester skiers can write their names in history as record breakers today as they managed to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chain of skiers at Chill Factore.
The current Guinness World Record for the longest chain of skiers stands at 50 people, and was smashed on the slopes with a chain of 60 skiers today.
The Record is much harder than it sounds, as the chain had to travel for 100m without breaking to count as successful. After eight attempts the record was broken on the final turn, much to everyone’s delight!
The chain skied down the main slope in a snake formation to allow a record breaking 60 people to ski on the slope at the same time together, all holding hands. The attempt was verified by two independent witnesses and supervising officials made sure the chain stayed intact.
Morwenna Angove, chief executive at Chill Factore, is delighted: “We’re so excited to have broken the Record! We were watching with baited breath as the chain travelled down the slope, and on the eighth attempt we finally broke it. I just want to say a big thank you to everybody who came along to take part, and we’re very proud to now be Guinness World Record holders.”
The Manchester skiers registered to take part in the Guinness World Record were recruited from the ranks of Manchester ski clubs, regular skiers at the Chill Factore and other advanced skiers in the region.
A big congratulations to everyone who took part from Chill Factore!
