As a lover of nature and skiing, I cannot imagine taking a ski vacation to an indoor ski resort. The combination of fake snow, a white dome for the sky, no clean, crisp, fresh air, and long lift lines is a disgrace to all snow sports. Xanadu is a $2 billion entertainment and retain village under construction at the Meadowlands Sports Complex located in East Rutherford, N.J.
The dome’s attraction will be a 140-foot tall ski run. All I can say is that I wouldn’t want to be there for opening day. The interesting structure has gotten heads turning and people wondering what the interior will look like. Apparently the dome will have everything from entertainment, sports, retail, offices, and hotel space.
This new complex has given people who live in areas that traditionally don’t get snow the chance to ski all year round. A Las Vegas firm as announced that they will be adding ski slopes to their indoor water park, Las Vegas Wet, which is scheduled to open in 2011. Xanadu is scheduled to open sometime later this year.
