Maybe in the fall for a warm up but not middle of the summer. Too much fun on the H2O ski's in the summer. The big word is IF it ever opens. New Jersey's a mess these days and who knows if they will ever figure it out.

I would definitely hit it up..I guess it is about an hour and change north of me.

If they set up a nice park, it would be worth it. The only thing that might be too much is all the North Jersey punks a la Mountain Creek.

Count on it. Be a new category of ski injuries too; gold chains caught in <insert relavent ski structure/apparatus here> causing whiplash.


Seriously, I would hit it 1x/month (40 min from home)

Would be insane to drive long distances for though

Perfect outing for my 10 year old an myself!

I'd be delighted to drive 3-hours for some "probably overpriced" runs.

I love the lift time with my son.

If that place ever opens, I will absolutely be hopping on the bus at least once a month over the summer and making some turns. The whole experience would have to be unbelievably crappy for me never to go back.

It would almost be worth it just to see the looks I get hauling my skis around in July/August.

This, except I would drive there.

A year ago I thought I'd be hitting it already, gotta love Jersey. I'm going to see a pre-season Jets game on August 14th it would have been fun to go before the game.

I would be there now if I could! Definately do a trip just to keep the ski legs up.

I got Giants pre-season tixs that I am basically giving away. Probably would go to a preseason game and ski a little if it was up and running.
