Why does everyone always think Ski Dubai is the biggest?

It's just 22,500 m2 whilst Snowworld Landgraaf in the Netherlands is 35.000 m2

Nothing compared to the plans for that behemoth do.

So you'd rather a glorified fridge than dozens of different resorts to visit with 1000x better snow?

This. Dryslope is vastly consistent to indoor slopes. It'll always be the same.

Yes it isn't as forgiving on equipment as indoor slopes, but with a good sprinkler system, damage will be prolonged immensely.

There's that thing in the meadowlands, but that's been royally fucked for as long as I can remember and it will probably stay that way.

Most weeks.

I've grown up skiing dryslope and to take the pain of falling.

I can't stand indoor slopes for the reason I explained in my last post.

Dryslope for technique but I prefer indoor way more because you can actually practise things there without ended up being bruised all over.

Also this is how the park in the 'local' indoor hall looks: (really depends they change it every week)

snow already hurts enough, dry slopes are skin shredders

Probably never going to happen, weird location on top of the gigantic investment it would need. Neat idea though, Denmark needs some easy-access skiing!

Indoor is OK. Cool enough idea. They are fun to hit up in the summer for sure.

Never been to on in the USA do they even exist here?

I think there was plans for a massive one in jersey a few years back, but it never got off the ground.
