Xanadu = ultimate ski shop location?

I really cant wait. Ski all day. Medieval Times for dinner and show.

I think you're right Deadhead, the perfect chance to get some demo time in. I'm the same way, too interested in skiing to waste time switching skis during the season.. I wonder how many other people would think the same way though??

My friend and I have the same exact BSL. We'll go to a demo day together, grab two pairs then keep swapping.

i live 20 minutes away. it's getting there. you can see the actual tube ramp now. it's kinda odd looking, but cool.
i have a feeling it is mostly going to be a park setup. i bet it would be $100+ a day.

they'd definitely have a big shop there and new equipment will be expensive, but they will do fine business wise. i can see the shop selling new stuff as well as old gears, meaning let someone trade in old equip for a new equip and sell old equip to someone at a margin. there are many golfshops around here that do that and the shops that are in the golf-ranges are doing fine.

i just heard that a very well known local ski merchant ( princeton ski shop) is going out of business. i think experienced skiers research more and order it from the net. but, here in the metro NYC, there are always many many beginners and parents that rather pay some more and get professional advise in the shops.

iirc, the ones in dubai and japan are doing just fine.

I can't wait to ski Xanadu..I wonder what a season pass will cost..I can cruise into New York City for Hookers, Blow, and Corned beer..then hit up Xanadu on the way home..what a wonderful world..

I live about a half-hour away from there. Can't wait to find out what a season pass will cost. I've also heard that the Snowdome will be open 24hrs a day. I'm not to sure if that's true on not, but on those nights when I have trouble sleeping, you'll know where to find me!

not to nair on anyone's parade here, but I can't believe any of us are considering supporting this place. It the antithesis of everything skiers should stand for. The environmental damage done by this place will be immense. Cooling a palce that size, making snow, all in Mid-Atlantic summer heat? It makes me sick to my stomach.

The environmental damage caused by Xanadu will be a drop in a gigantic bucket compared to all the other construction and eco disaster SUVs..To be able to ski a short manmade slope indoors on a 95 degree summer day will be priceless.

When I was younger and read about the skidome in Japan I wished there was one closer to home and my wish is coming true. I' don't see getting a season pass there but I'm sure I'll put in a few days there each summer for shits and giggles..100 runs in the snowdome might even give me a little leg burn if I make alot of turns..

I would be outdoors (and it would be great if they have those bumps).

Looks like fun, I'd like to try that! Especially if they had some nice bumps..
