Nominations can be indoor of snowflex (or grass if that's what you're into).
I will nominate my local snowplanet of new zealand. Even though we constantly complain about what they could do better with the park I think it's a lot better than some of the one's i've seen in uk and such. Snowplanet has a 200m slope with 4-5 sets of features in a row.
Xanadu in New Jersey. Sickest place ever. The whole thing is a park. Obviously not as sick as the big out door mountains but they have 20+ rails in right now and a 3 booters.
I'm stoked to try out snow planet though. Places looks like a lot of fun. I'm thinking of hitting it when I fly in to auckland next month. I've never hit an indoor spot before.

It's lots of fun and worth a visit. Just don't expect big jumps or perfectly groomed features, also if you go on a weekend it's jam packed with little kids and gapers.

yeah jump isnt big but you can huck a cork 9 if you are lucky
I've been to Snowplanet in NZ and it's nothing compared to our Snowworld. it's the biggest indoor slope in Europe with a 6person chairlift and a few other lifts, it's 520m long.

That shit is open??! I thought it was still under construction
I went to Noeux Les Mines last year (it's been a year already?!) and had an absolute blast. Best dry slope I've ever hit.

Midlothian Snowsports Centre/Hillend. This is my local dryslope's kicker. Angles all dialed in nicely as you can see........ Definitely best artificial ski slope hands down. Oh no wait... And it's £12 an hour, nice.

We have 7 indoor slopes in Holland two of them are Snowworld and we also have a Snowplanet. This one is the biggest though.
And they change the park up all the time, it sometimes gets icy but I reckon it's the best indoor place. This is one thing Holland does right.
yeah i've seen videos of tc, kai mahler and the sildarus there im pretty sure. looks a lot of fun and i guess holland really need it without its mountains

Place looks on point. Big ups. Was wondering if anyone was actually going to build a real park in a dome. Seems like even the best dome setups are slightly sketchy. Maybe one day I'll make it to some of these places on random travels.
Anybody work at the dome in aukland or just ski there?
steezyclezythe problem is that the snow doesn't work like real snow and they would need a pretty high roof for any decent jumps
Yeah the snow looks like shit for building in the pictures. I wonder what kind of climate they generally run in those places. And yeah I understand on big jumps but some places seem to kind of say fuck it and through a rail here or there.
You don't need huge booters and a million rails to have a well built park. Especially in a small space like that. Just saying that the build is noticeably better.
I'm interested in the climate though. It seems like they probably run a consistent temp that works good for the guests but still able to make snow. If that temp never dips you never get that solid base.
