Chinese dragons are widely believed to be the rulers of large bodies of water, so Chill Factore\u2019s cool slope is its perfect sub-zero home and the ideal warm up to the festivities here in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to the slope like a duck to water, the enormous skiing dragon will glide gracefully down the slope, controlled by nine of Chill Factore\u2019s expert instructors and surrounded by mini dragons and lanterns to create a truly snow-stopping display.<\/p>\n<p>A hub for snow-experiences, Chill Factore will be celebrating this annual holiday the only way it knows how \u2013 on the snow!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the upcoming event, Chill Factore spokesperson Laura McKiernan said: \u201cChinese New Year is a key holiday in the city as Manchester is rich with Chinese culture. We wanted to celebrate in true Chill Factore fashion \u2013 big, bold and on the snow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Want to join the celebrations?
