Hey guys, just got out of a couple meetings at Doppelmayr CTec in SLC, for those of you who dont know who or what they do well there one of the last Chair Lift Manufacturers in the world... One thing i found out there is that in Newark, New Jersey, they are building a indoor skiing center....  I was told that it will open Aug 6, 2009 but that may change......

Below are a couple links about it.......

Yeah one reason we were in the meeting was because they were trying to come up with a way to hang the chair lift from the ceiling.... cant wait tell this goes in......

They really need one in San Francisco... theres so many good skiers here that arent able to make it over 20 days... so much talent wasted... putting in one of these would help, for sure..

uh the meadowlands isn't in Newark, its in East Rutherford, and its not ghetto its just a bunch of swamp land with Giants Stadium and a lot of hotels and other businesses. Also, I think the whole place is pretty much done they are just waiting until they sell all of the retail space.

by the way, isn't this reeeaaalllllyyyy old news?

I live like 15/20 minutes from it and I probably won't go there much.  I mean, it is gunna be flat, crowded, and word on the street is that tickets are going to be extremely expensive.  So they might have a few rails which would be nice but how much of this little thing could honestly be park?
