Xanadu

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wouldn't unfrozen be preferable? In right location, could be better than Xanadu.

No..unfrozen would be too slow..frozen would be faster and better for laying down deep carves with sharp edges..

I don't understand why your so "down" on it.. It's just something to do.. Like any other indoor activity... Bowling.. Ice skating... basketball...

I prefer to swim in the ocean but I'll still jump into a little pool in a friends back yard...

Well some people are ski snobs..there are some people who live spitting distance from the Poconos and could go night skiing after work but they only ski on big ski trips..and there are some that don't even bother with night skiing because it's too cold and icy..and others who don't even bother with the east..to each it's own...I draw the line at railjams..

I'm about 15 minutes away, and still won't be checking it out. Everytime me and my wife pass by that place, we shake our heads in disbelief that anyone could take this seriously.

not seriously. more for a once & out giggle ... (damn can't believe i left the gear up at the ski house.)

I'm down on it cause I think folks are making a lot more out of it than it merits. In my case, come warm weather, I prefer to be hiking, biking, etc...... not skiing 120 of vertical. Also, I pass by there and find it to be one big joke. I'll shut up now and wait for the reviews.

Come on now... Rainy day... Hot and humid... Head over there.. get toasted... jump a pair of tele skis or a snowboard...

Sounds a lot like recreation to me - I'm not talking season pass here...

My guess is that skiing negligible vertical in a tin-walled shed on manmade ice in the Meadowlands must be like having a sexual encounter with a blow-up doll. Just because it's there and just because you haven't had the real thing in a while won't make it *good*. Better than nothing? Somehow I don't think so...

If they place kickers, they might get the park rats. Throw in the bumps and they attract the moguls whores like me.

I can lap a single mogul run all day. I don't need a change of scenery to break the monotony b/c there isn't any, but thats just me.

You might have to wait till next July to try it. The hole project has had it's opening date pushed back till next July from this November. Supposedly it's because of a lack of tenants.

You can rent there and I don't see skiing there until next summer since they aren't opening until at least November..Where is your ski house?

they will open as soon as they can. the tennants that have already leased property will not paying rent till they do open. the funding company will not let the place sit there for a full year making no money. if they can open a portion they will do it without hesitation. they have sunk a ton of cash into and they need to see some return. i deal with projects all the time where they investors what to open before you are at 100% completion so they can start generation revenue so they can start recouping the intial outlay.

Totally..I'm not getting a season pass but a couple turns would be steezy in the Garden State in the summer. It would be a good place to try snowboarding..maybe I'll become a knuckledragger. Over a decade ago when they built the snowdome in Japan..I instantly thought how cool it would be...I feel like if I don't hit up Xanadu..nobody will..but I skied Blue mountain more than 200 days the past 3 seasons combined..so I'm not some fairweather snob..

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Thats me

You had fun at Blue last season..I remember you staying there later than me...Quality over quantity...why not have both..lol..it's skiing.it's like sex and pizza..there's no such thing as a bad ski day..

Once would be about it...Makes Sundown look like JH.

Wow, an indoor Yagoo! Now you see why I don't even bother going 15 minutes down the street!

+1

Somehow I doubt they will dedicate any of that precious terrain to bumps though...

Something like this might keep me occupied for a few hours a couple times during the summer:

I could ski that all day in a hot july or august heat wave.

Yep. I would be able to bust out a bad ass spread eagle by September... :lol:

Looks like fun to me! I could kill plenty of time there for sure!
