Xanadu

Yeah, that's the ticket.

hell, I'm cool if they want to run the place out of tents, so long as I can ski in July

Wow that is one ugly mf buidling.

On the plus side they will have a Cabela's store in the right corner. Cabela's doesn't usually build a store unless they get some kind of huge tax break. I bet the deal between Xandu and NJ is zero taxes. Anyway you can't tax something that ugly.

Did they at least ask the neighbors what they thought of the building design. Damn that is ugly.

nothing like riding a Ferris Wheel after skiing a 12 degree indoor skislope!!!

I take back what I said. That is a one beautiful mall designed by a 12 year old child whose dad happens to be a mob boss that shall remain nameless. Yup shes a beauty. uke: Excuse me - hair ball.

I believe it's half the vert. 150 feet vs 300 feet. Big mountain stats!

At best we could practice......skiing switch there...then it MIGHT be worth a trip.

Somehow the idea of a skiing experience in the NJ Meadowlands is contrary to everything I seek in a skiing experience. And I live in NJ!

I live 5-10 minutes away and have no desire. Winter, I hit the mountains. Summer, I hit the mountains. See no reason to be inside for either.

skiing to me is more about the actual skiing than the scenery..unfortunately it's looking like the actual skiing at Xanadu is gonna be pretty lame..I wish they were at least building something like Ski Dubai with 300 vert..

That's my whole point....
Sliding down machine-blown ice in a tin shed on the side of the NJ Turnpike has no way of being actual skiing.

I'm saying I'd prefer a 25 degree pitch..in a tin shed to a 10 degree pitch in a tin shed..but I don't think it's worth the wait..
