That would be such a waste of money to make a resort where no one has ever seen snow.

I've seen where they are going to build it. It's pretty big, but nowhere near mountain size. They are trying to market it as a "destination resort", which means they think people out-of-state will actually book ski vacations to Texas instead of Utah, Colorado, California, fuck, ANYWHERE else. Pretty funny.

The reason many ski resorts survive is because there are a constant stream of people skiing every day of the week during the winter. Now, place a fake resort in 100 degree weather and see what happens. People will have fun once and never go back, its just not the same. They may be stoked about this place, but hype isnt everything.

they have a lot of shit to offer people may only go once and never wanna go back but they may like it you never know because im sure that people in texas have never had a chance to ski so they will have there locasl like every ski resort does. but who really knows i just dont know why they would dump so much money into something like this just for it to fail

i'm from dallas, but taos is only an 11 hour drive away. fuck indoor skiing.
though i'll probably try this place out if it's cheap enough.

Wow, this could actually happen!  Six Flags, Schlitterbahn, Sea World, South Padre Island and skiing too!  They never have to leave their state!

That and I will most likely be going to pilot training there for a year so I need something to use...
