Year round skiing in Buffalo, NY?

The newest idea to develop our piece of crap waterfront is to build a big dome thing with all kinds of stuff in it. Including 'snowboarding', as all the news reports say. it looks like they are pretty serious about doing it and groundbreaking could begin in about a year. It may not be great skiing but it sounds pretty cool. I'll take indoor skiing 20 minutes from my house any day.

Yeah, I saw it to. They really are serious about doing this because our city is in desperate need of something to draw in tourists and interest because it's falling apart fast, and if they do this, it will SURELY bring in tourism from all over. It's gonna be almost like a massive amusement park type idea kinda. I'll try to find more information.

they were gonna build something like that in the toronto area but they couldn't for some reason. I'll definitly be making a couple trips there once it opens it's only an hour and a half away.

the toronto one was cancelled (it was going to be on the old airforce base near Idomo, the store with the crazy beard guy for prez) because the 'neighbours' thought it would bring in too much traffic. BAH

mike, yeah, it's the same guy. He tried toronto but had toruble obtaining land. Then he had the same problem in Montreal, so he tried Buffalo, and turns out there is more then enough perfectly located downtown, waterfront space.
