The Snow Centre in Manchester currently has the biggest indoor slope in the UK at 180m (590ft) but Marvel Limited, the developers behind the Merthyr Tydfil proposals, say their centre would be one of the biggest in the world with a slope of about 400m (1312ft) in length.
It would become the official headquarters for the UK (GB) and Welsh Olympic and Paralympic snow sports teams, according to the company, and sit alongside a conference centre, tropical waterpark, a hotel and lodge accommodation.
The firm estimates it would create 1,500 construction jobs, including 1,200 from the local area, and then 800 jobs at the centre itself.
