| Information: |
A highly secretive set-up, the SHPG provides the
predominantly northern hemisphere-based car and tyre-manufacturing
clients with an off-season winter facility where they can test their
new products on a variety of icy snow-covered race tracks and road
surfaces. While this area is not open to the Public we have listed it as a potentially large area to skate on. They have an ice groomer and in season maintain a large area of flat ice, possibly shown below in the Google photo. |

Above: Location is about level with Cardrona but to
the right of the middle of the map (nothing marked on this map) Below: You can see the areas where the vehicles are tested, just to the right of the W is a flat area where we think they groom with a Zamboni to give a flat ice surface. |
