    Look at what we are getting in North Texas!

    Look what we are getting in North Texas!  Call me crazy, but I think it will be pretty cool.  DH has never been skiing before but I have and have always wanted to take him but neither of us like to spend our vacations in cold locations so maybe we will get the best of both worlds!

    LMAO....that's hysterical. How funny that there's even a market for this type of thing....I thought people that liked snow just went to/lived near, where there was snow...[sm=biggrin.gif]
     
    Where exactly are they putting it I wonder? Hope they don't start this building everywhere caca like California. I moved here to get away from stuff like that lol.

    Wow, that's an interesting concept!  I can see it being a huge  success.

    When I saw it on the news the other day it seems like it was off 35 somewhere near 121 or maybe further North.  It says it is located midway b/w the Dallas and Fort Worth airports...now what exactly they mean by that, I am not sure....maybe b/w DFW Airport and Meacham Field.  Hmmm....it seems like the mentioned that on the news too.  I will be curious to see where it ends up.  There is a lot of undeveloped land on 35 heading North towards Denton if I remember correctly so I suspect it will be in that direction but really have no idea.
     
    Edited: I like how they have fake mountains in the background too...like we actually have those here.  I wonder if they are building those too!

    Ohh I see why they picked Texas...less green folks about to whine about the artificial snow's effect on water and environment...[;)]

    ETA: oh nevermind I looked up their snowflex product...wet, white astroturf! lol! Surely they'll have "some" snow tho....can't make snowballs with astroturf!

    I just worry about the energy costs....[:-]

    Perhaps it could be powered by Rick Perry's hairgel?
    I am sure he'd make the sacrifice for his state!

    Wow! That's pretty crazy. I wonder what it will feel like to ski/board on compared to real snow.
