Snow cannon in a ski center in Roubaix silent lift misses in real estate, snowcat (snowgroomers) dreams of better times. Situation explained coach alpine skiing Vitebsk regional center of Olympic reserve Sergey Radevich. All the banal: the mountain stopped feeding electricity. Without electricity do not work the gun, nor lift. And when earned - unknown.

"Previously, in light of paying "Dolomite", and never no problems. And then, due to some circumstances and trends - do not know who it's all hurt! - Decided that the need to chop off the Roubaix. Chief Power Engineer "Dolomite" went and said that this mountain nobody needs, they say, it does not work. And there is simply picked up and cut down the light..." - said Sergey Radevich.

Sergey fighting off calls wanting to go, explaining that everything can be solved, not earlier than two weeks. And from here it depends a bit. According to him, the mountain is now under the care of the center of Olympic reserve. And COR agrees to pay for everything, because children need to practice. But there's a catch. Lift and gun owned "Dolomite".

To pay for their connection, "Dolomite" must hand them to COR (and they do not mind). But in order to pass them - he must get authorization from the Ministry... "And not even the fact that when they come to the paper to transfer the balance of COR, in our energoorganizatsiyah not invent something else..." - concludes pessimistically coach. The solution may be the acquisition of a powerful gasoline generator. But here's all about money. Especially because no energy-intensive gun gasoline not pull (lift only).

"And this slide really very good for training. Practically, it is one of the best roller coasters in Belarus. In Minsk, the millions of dollars they have invested in the same Kurasoushchyna, and here... here's a shovel to trim it - and well", - says Sergey Radevich.

In tourist catalogs rubovskie mountain pass as a "ski center". But the "center" here and does not smell. Of service - only village green toilet. Yes ski rental prices for which are not yet defined ("What are the prices if the mountain is worth ?.."). Community Features descent is a house that was previously used as a dressing room for young skiers. But more recently, is included in its strictly forbidden (building belongs HCS).

"We enjoyed this house for 15 years. And nobody can touch him. So now we are in this house is not allowed. In the past year came to court. I tried, as I poked back. Imagine: frost, kids pull skis on their shoulders, they are flowing snot, sweat, ride, frozen, and all - sick. Clearly, I opened the lock, admitted children and set fire to the stove. And tea could drink..." - explains Sergei.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that the area is defined as a mountain landslide area (by the way, because of a landslide that occurred once, the former owner of the house refused to live here, bought the house as a result of the state). That is, any construction of service facilities is prohibited.

"Well, here's how to invest money here? I can invest their labor in vain. Go, see gorbin - dig up. As a result, for several years was a good slope, almost perfect. When coming from the federation, watched: so this is our mountain... And how many millions of dollars to pay for the Kurasovshchina!.."

Since 2005 and there has been talk about building projects soar in Roubaix whether resort, or a "recreational and entertainment center". As if there is even a preliminary design (budget of € 4 million), which provides for the construction of decent hotel and catering facility... But until that snowcat dreams of a better future...
