New Jersey Skiing

You won’t have to come to NY any more Harv, fuck global warming - you can ski in NJ all year now.

Not much of a website, hard to believe it is coming soon.

In a case of the tail wagging the dog, I have no interest in going there, except maybe to write about it.

I’m genuinely curious and I’m only about a half hour away so I’ll probably check it out once

Ha! Cool I'm off the hook.

Actually I'd go with you Broski.  It seems like they keep pushing the date back though.

I skied in the dome in Dubai..   It got boring fast..  
If I could've done a shot or 2 of whiskey - maybe...   But that's not an option there.

What do you think? Will these things make indoor skiing in jersey more fun? How much should I offer?

Some people can always find fun ,wherever they go:

I have a pair of blades in my stash somewhere. Those things force you to carve.

I'll pay more attention when announcements about specific openings within the Mall start coming out.  You would think SnowOperating would like to have Big SNOW open by Thanksgiving at least.  That way SnowOperating could get people interested in checking out Mountain Creek during early season.

". . .
In its May announcement, Triple Five said the opening would be phased with some elements opening in the fall and others near the holidays and into 2020. It’s not clear what exactly will open on October 25. A spokesman for American Dream did not immediately respond to questions.
. . ."

A few articles coming out as Opening Day on 10/25/19 gets closer.  Includes a a picture of that shows the exterior walls of the ski slope going to white, covering up the yellow, red, and orange stripes.  Eventually will have a mural but that won't be completed until Summer 2020.

Reporters and photographers were given a tour inside recently that included the waterpark and the ice rink.

Speaking of skiing in NJ my sons race schedule has a SL and dual SL at was used to be Hidden Valley in NJ on it during Presidents weekend and a GS at Blue
Not sure if the points will be worth the drive - really depends if other academy’s decide to schlup down there

Blue is NOT NJ   (at least not until 10:00 am saturday mornings )

Volunteers to ski opening day and send me 500 words... I'll buy your lift ticket with coke and fries.

Drat . . . I'll be driving north the weekend before American Dream opens.  Although my taste even in fast food doesn't include soda. ;-)

The magazine that did the photo shoot is a high end glossy called 201 Magazine.  American Dream is a feature for the Sept 2019 issue.  According to the article that starts on page 67, Big SNOW is supposed to be ready by opening day.  Although the Nickelodeon rides are what marketing is emphasizing.  201 Magazine is somehow connected to USA Today.  It's been around for 15 years and has pretty high end advertising.
