A ski resort in the DFW area?

How's that even possible?

Utilizing environmental friendly technology, Glacier Peak will envelope you in an atmosphere that is 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding area.

but my folks always told me that we couldn't air condition the outside, at least that was their reason for why i should always close the door behind me... well that and the fact that i wasn't raised in a barn

that looks even more gross than all the shit they're building in dubai

That's insane. Even more insane than the indoor water park and resort they're building by my office.

bearfire ski resort and great wolf lodge water park. both names suck...whoever chose them should be fired!

Nope, skiing will get in the way of our drinking.

Also, anyone sees me in person, ask me what skiing into a wall does for you. I've got a neat trick to show

OMK. That is one of the most rediculous things I've ever seen.
However, I am intrigued.

Bah. The peak is just 250 feet, so good luck getting a run with any reasonable length or slope.

Everything is going to be like a bunny hill.

i'd rather save my whole life to ski snowmass mountain than spend every afternoon there.

snowmass mountain - 4 different peaks and something like 20 double black diamonds.

indoor skiing - weird-textured slushy crap and a roof. woo.

it's not like the people who go snow skiing in texas are going to be professionals or anything.

I didn't see from the website that it was going to be indoor, although...

...plus, to say I didn't scan or read it thoroughly would be an understatement.

it's not that hard to learn. green runs are for little kids/beginners. once you've had like one lesson you can ski blues (intermediate) and if you have pretty good coordination blacks (advanced). double black diamonds are the hardest because they don't groom them, so they get moguls and icy patches and are the highest on the mountain so they are really steep.

i've always wanted to ski virgin snow. from snowmass mountain you can see this huge crater-type space on a nearby mountain. i think it's called the bowl or the something bowl, and thats a place where people ski alot. i was always too scared, though, because you never know how deep the powder is and it would take forever for paramedics to come if something happened.

pathetically, the thing i remember liking best about skiing is that sometimes they give you free cups of hot chocolate as you get off the lift. i also remember hating snow-boarders. i havent gone since i was 12 and i really want to go again. my grandparents used to own a condo there, so we could stay for free. since they sold it, it's way too expensive for me to go to snowmass. maybe for a graduation present or something.

i also went cross-country skiing in finland with my uncle. not nearly as fun. much more work.

Could everyone please stop hating snowboarders just because a few douchebags like to pow wow in annoying spots?

As a snowboarder, I must say that I am one of the many who enjoy the clean-lined turns, intricate balancing techniques and xtreme air that only snowboarding provides over skiing. We're not all bastards.
