As exciting as Homestretch would be with its own fixed grip lift. I did ski it once when I worked 10 minutes away. How many other folks can say they have skied 4 places in NJ (5 if you count Highpoint XC)? Now bring on the Xanadu snow dome. Expand I was planning on spending my bday at Xanadu about 8 years ago. I definitely wanna check out mountain creek since Eaf said it's better than blue mountain. Quote

Open a weed shop in that mall and make bank. 3 Quote

Expand I don't see weed shops being in malls...anyway it won't be as fun as skiing Blue on a normal day...the run at Xanadu wasn't even gonna be as long or steep as vista. They need to build a legit indoor ski area like ski Dubai where there are multiple runs, a midstation and even a black diamond that's like a shorter Main Street. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) If they priced Xanadu on a reasonable per run basis it would be a nice summer diversion to take a few. Can't see spending more than about an hour there though. Also could be nice as a place for kids to learn without getting cold and for a park. Edited January 22, 2018 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

Expand I looked it up Ski Dubai is $74 for a lift ticket but there are discounts available. I don't see Xanadu being much below $40-$50 for two hours. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Dubai is one of the richest places on earth. Probably $20 for a felafel. Quote

Expand Wrong..it's not that expensive for food over there..it's affluent but the cost of living is not that high..I watch a lot of Dubai vlogs. The cost of Falafel would actually be way more in a place like San Francisco. Same with the cost of rent. Also realize there's no income tax over there. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Right now you get about 3.5 dirhams per $1 us https://lovindubai.com/best-of/get-falafel-in-dubai Quote
