"Developers say it's the world's first indoor black diamond run."<br><br>i suppose it's bigger than any patch i've ever skied. <br>

the future has arrived.

I have some friends that live near this place - they tell me it's almost always packed. In any case, it's bigger than the hill I learned to ski on in Minneshizzle.

Black diamond? More like black gold.<br>I'll be thinking of this place the next time I fill my tank full of imported oil to drive up to wherever I ski. I got fed up with the Crystal CF yesterday and turned around, burning a half tank of gas for no turns. At least I can feel better that someone half way around the world may have gotten some very indirect turns out of my trip.
