It would be interesting for sure but so much of skiing for me is being outdoors, the views, trees etc. I guess I am just spoiled since I live in Steamboat.

That is impressive. Considering that 2,500 feet is about as long as the longest run east of the rockies (Le Massif in Quebec), that will be fantastic - and about 3 times longer than the "outdoor" las vegas ski & snowboard club discussed in this article. Keep us posted with your progress! Steven – thanks for the updates and insight!

I'm guessing that you mean total run length and not altitude drop! Obviously, we will be limited by land, but right now, although not the 5,000 feet you are hoping for, we will have about 2500' of run length. We are working closely with the folks involved with Ski Dubai along with the X-Leisure folks (they have three snow domes in the UK), so we will hopefully be learning from their experiences and mistakes. We will be updating the site in the next few weeks, so keep in touch! Steven Dooner CEO WET Holdings, Inc. Hi Phil,
