I was wondering how everyone would respond to a water ramp and indoor training facility here in the Milwaukee area? I know there is one in Ohio and Woodward in Copper but we need something here.

No not an indoor water ramp. An outside water ramp and ramps indoors into foam pits. I am wondering if it would make it here in Milwaukee?

I think you should build a model in your backyard, invite your friends over to see if you could then role it out on a massive scale:-)

I would go all the time. 

There are a ton of old warehouse-type buildings north and south of downtown that would be perfect and someone could probably pick up for pretty cheap.  I think its a great idea--like drew said it would draw from MN and I know that skiers and boarders from Chicago would come up too.  If you're serious about it going to ski/snowboard shops around the Milwaukee area to gauge sponsorship interest would be a good idea.

i would do it for sure. dont know if it would take off though. cool idea. i did an indoor ski business plan a few years ago.  if you are going to do it, make sure to take the time to research and do a feasibility study. sure people on here say they would do it, but would they do it year round and how much would they pay? but i would love to see this happen. Just dont know if there are enough athletes to make it happen in the area.
