Sweet, low angle skiing on man-made snow. I would rather travel than ski that if I lived in the area.

yeah, I'm sure they'll have no trouble getting financing.

i will be seriously amazed when ANY of the US indoor places ACTUALLY open. i've been hearding about them for 10 yrs now...

the meadowlands NJ (http://www.meadowlandsxanadu.com) one seems to be the only one making real progress... but i can't tell from their poorly functioning website if the building is actually on track to open.

you'd think the vegas one would have been done long ago. nope. texas looked promising for awhile too. hasn't happened.

Sounds like a great plan to scar up the land. Nothing like doing a weekend on the AT and seeing an indoor ski area sluttin up the mountain.

Being from the area and going to college near there, there is nothing like taking in the good views of sugars hotel from miles away, lovely.

Barring some sort of crazy problems, I'm thinking that the meadowlands indoor ski area is definitely going to open. The last time I drove through Jersey, the outside of the building was finished, so I it seems unlikely that they would suddenly change their minds after construction was complete.

Ive seen pictures of these things in japan or china, cant remember which. however over there they are so packed that you can barely move.

They lost most of their financing earlier this year when everyone found out they were full of shit, it was theoretically supposed to open in Nov. now as far as anyone knows they haven't done any construction in months.

I would be surprised if they could nail down financing in the current climate.

is it just me of does being crammed indoors with thousands of other people, sliding down a ramp on man made snow completely defeat the original purpose of skiing?
