An indoor Ski slope finally is coming to the states - Just outside of New York City. I heard about it and now it looks to be a reality.

I heard they ran out of money for that whole project "xanadu" or whatever, could be wrong.

Imissed your post then or maybe not. anyhow........ I just went to the xanadu website for the first time. The webcam shot which looks like it is from today is what got me stoked. it looks like the cranes are halted due to rain today, but that is definitly concrete I see being poured.

Indoor slopes tend to be expensive as they cost so much to power all the air con. Get in there quick and get a job for free skiing!!! Its what everyone in the UK does.

Well I would definately prefer a real mountain. How big is it, I bet it would get boring fast. and probably a bunch of beginers and just be like wtf

dude they are so gay. i resaeached them during my Japan unit in grade 7 at school. K its skiing skiing the bunny hill except the ground is a lil gayer. There is no different terrain and no jumps for sure. It mmight be great for those work aholics in new York that have never skied on a real hill but whatever.
