Boredom season until the second weekend of September when NJ bow hunting opens.

The season never ends at Xanadu! Detune your edges and grind some sick rails with the indigenous mallrats. And maybe pick up a cinnabon for the bus ride home, too.

If I ever get a long enough overnight in Teterboro I plan to hit it. Too bad we don't stay at the Meadowlands as our primary property, would be much easier to slip over for a session.

The idea of skiing on a 90 degrees day in July sounds incredible. The idea of humping my ski gear in from the parking lot and then back out to it on a 90 degrees day in July sounds disgusting.

Sounds like playing Mens Hockey.... Except a Hockey bag is way more gear to lug around
But man, does that rink feel great when it's still 90+ in Metro Boston at 10pm.

Indoor skiing on hot days sounds great until you look at the cost.

I’d rather go boating instead.
I looked at the cost of Big Snow. It’s 50 bucks for two hours, doesn’t seem that outlandish.

Much cheaper if you buy a 6 pack when they're on sale, I paid $120. So basically $10 an hour.

Much more reasonable for what you get. $25 an hour is approaching Vail window rates. And on the weekends, the lift line is almost as bad. The newbs refuse to fill the chairs and there's no one controlling the line.

I would be going on a weekday, possibly to tryout a new pair of skis I am thinking about.
