That would suck, especially since I only live about 25 minutes from there. I'm hoping for some sort of monthly pass. If it were hourly, I'd probably hit it for 4 2 hour trips over the summer.

A monthly or 3 month pass or some sort of thing would be better than getting jilted with the hourly rate.... Who knows they might have both..

Since you mention camping on the Island I assume you mean the Maryland Assateague. My family has a place on Chincoteague Island in VA. and we go to the VA Assateague National Seashore.

I don't think people that worry about $30 for an hours worth of skiing are in the demographic they are going for...

Tru-dat...$30 for an hour of skiing in the summer is a bargain..I'd pay $50 an hour right now..
I wouldn't even ski for free there but I would spend thousands of dollars to take a trip to Timberline Lodge

I cant personally comprehend how someone would limit themselves like that..
i hear where your coming from - outdoors dude.. and all that... But it just doesn't make sense to me..
I'm as outdoorsy as the next guy... But sliding around a small indoor hill in the summer... Seems like it could be fun.. i certainly won't say I'd never do it before i at least hear how it is...

I wouldn't travel a long distance to use the place but if it were in my back yard, I'd check it out. It might even be fun to get into a midnight beer league. It's so small that if you're not running gates or doing fake terrain features, you'd be bored in 15 minutes.

If they could set up a mogul course, and maybe some park hits etc. That would be decent.

Oh my god, if they set up weeknight races or something and I can regularly get some easy turns in over the summer I will be in heaven.
If everything at Hunter excluding the bunny slope required a long traverse, would you traverse? I'm sure you would. But I don't understand why you won't travel longer for far superior skiing - it's the same concept. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against indoor ski areas. I'm against the terrain. In fact, the ski dome that's being built in North Carolina looks interesting and if it weren't so far, I'd check it out. I can't name how many things I'd rather do during the summer months.

I've traveled pretty far for skiing... believe me... Winter Spring Summer and Fall...
But comparing jumping into a car and riding indoors for an evening with a 4 day jaunt to Oregon is apples and oranges...
Indoors skiing is like bowling or roller skating... Something to do...
Outdoor skiing is pure heaven...

You could get a cool bowling shirt with your team name...
Apples and Oranges - A mid-sized ski area takes up hundreds of acres where as a midsized bowling alley or an indoor skating rink don't even take up a single acre. I don't think skiing on only a few acres is an indoor activity. Indoor skiing could become an activity in the future though, but the technology isn't quite there yet.
