Xanadu is just a bunny hill so I wouldn't even drive two hours to ski there, let alone an overnight trip. Seriously, unless you have access to the Southern Hemisphere or even Timberline Lodge, enjoy what summer has to offer. It's a lot more fun than skiing at a bunny hill.

It's in New Jersey just like Giants stadium. Also yes I'd hit it in the summer a couple of times, it's about an hour drive for me.

but for a summer trip it would be fun to hit the city then spend a few hours at the dome. if they have a pass i will go a few times a week. i wonder what they are going to do for patrolers? that is a will they use the NSP.

I'm gonna wait until it actually opens and the hype dies down, find out the hours they're open, best time to go, and read some reviews first. So far it only registers as a novelty on my stoke meter.

Three to four months of hiding from bugs, evil humidity, and excessive sunlight is less fun than a bunny hill.

I don't do that during the summer months, I actually enjoy what it has to offer. Though winter is better than summer, anyone who thinks it is fun to ski on a crowded iced up bunny hill needs a life or help.

It shouldn't get iced up because it will never get warm enough in there to melt and refreeze.

When do you think the "peak season" for this place will be? I'd guess fall.

I still don't have an interest in trying Xanadu. In terms of funness, this place honestly makes Woodbury look like Alta. There's other activities I'd much rather do during the summer months.
