Southampton Outdoor Sports Centre has been undergoing major improvements
A revamped alpine snow sports centre in Southampton is expected to reopen before the end of the year, the city council has said.
Contractor Morgan Sindall is completing the "final touches" before the facility at Southampton Outdoor Sports Centre is handed over to leisure operator BH Live.
Toqeer Kataria, Labour councillor responsible for communities, safety and leisure, said the council was "still anticipating the centre will open by the end of December".
The facility has been undergoing major improvements as part of the wider multimillion-pound redevelopment of Southampton Outdoor Sports Centre.
Work includes a new single-storey ski lodge containing a reception, changing facilities, kit store and toilets.

The existing slopes are being resurfaced, while a new learner slope, viewing platforms, refurbished ski lifts and LED lighting are also being provided.
The wider scheme also includes new football, athletics, tennis and netball facilities, a community hub and family zone.
Kataria said: "The works at the Alpine Sports Centre are nearing completion and Morgan Sindall are working hard to finish the final touches ready for the council to hand over to BH Live."
He added that an "exact date will be confirmed in due course".
Kataria said people could register through the centre's website for updates on the remaining milestones and opening arrangements.
