Yeah man there's actually a couple of people I used to work with at Blue involved in it.   We're trying to work out a media deal with them and do Newschoolers nights or something like that. 

Someone go get some pics!

maybe portable snow guns maybe?

but if they used that fake carpet/snow stuff, and just blow snow ontop of it, they would make a lot more $$, because they would be able to be open year round.

It will be interesting to get more information about this though
