Look at what we are getting in North Texas!

• Look at what we are getting in North Texas! boneyjean Posted : 4/25/2007 12:32:04 PM 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!   [link>http://www.snowflex.com/news/latest/fort_worth_texas_chosen_to_be_home_to_new_world-class_bearfire_ski__snowboard_resort.html]http://www.snowflex.com/news/latest/fort_worth_texas_chosen_to_be_home_to_new_world-class_bearfire_ski__snowboard_resort.html[/link][/size]   LIKE 7 REPLIES 199 VIEWS LAST POST RWBEAGLES Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 4/25/2007 12:35:49 PM   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. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• boneyjean Posted : 4/25/2007 12:42:10 PM 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! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 4/25/2007 1:00:10 PM Perhaps it could be powered by Rick Perry's hairgel? I am sure he'd make the sacrifice for his state! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• janobonano Posted : 4/25/2007 3:46:48 PM Wow! That's pretty crazy. I wonder what it will feel like to ski/board on compared to real snow. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
