Rider117 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 So from the base they have trips that you can sign up and go on, well last week there was a flyer for a trip to Holland to go snowboarding in an indoor Ski arena. So, me and my friend signed up and it was a blast. This was my first time snowboarding and I had some pretty nasty spills but I was getting the hang of it throughout the end and they had some good beer!!! Well here's some pictures! Here is the board I got to rent for only 20 bucks! Snowworld had indoor slopes, a gym, two restaurants, and a hotel! Really nice place! The smallest hill, which I did a complete face dive into the snow the second time down because some guy cut in front of me! This was the medium hill, it was good because at the end they had padding at the wall so if you couldn't stop(which I couldn't at first) you just slam into the wall and you were all good. I fell right after that... Me trying to act like I'm good or something... The two big hills which also had jumps and stuff in the middle. We did this last and my friend collided with some guy, idiot! ;D It's pretty high up, there's a ski lift that takes you to the top. Some nice European beer! This beer was from Belgium, it was pretty bitter. Oh yeah, it was really cold inside there! Well, that's all I really took from the trip. But, I had a blast and I'm feeling it right now from all the falls I encountered last night. Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I really wish we'd get a couple of these in the states! Thanks for the report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I love snowworld, but the snow is sometimes just ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider117 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 It was really nice and the snow was all powder, I couldn't make a snowball. It was good for falling alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 This type of indoor snow area would be perfect for places like here in California or in Florida. Holy jesus that's cold! Thanks for sharing the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was watching TV and they have one of these places in Dubai. Its absolutely enormous! The states really should get one. Maybe Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj snow Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 There's one under construction in New Jersey at Meadowlands Xanadu. I believe it should be open sometime in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ^ While these look completely awesome I disagree with California needing one. We already have a ton of ski resorts, some of which take less than an hour to get to from the city! I think Texas, or even more appropriately Florida could use this more. Or really, anywhere in the deep south:) Thanks for the photos, wish there were more! These places absolutely fascinate me LOL. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
