Largest indoor ski resort planned near Atlanta

Posted by stephen on February 6, 2008

An Atlanta developer announced plans to build the longest and highest indoor ski dome in the world. The $1 billion Mount Pegasus project would cover 400 acres southeast of the intersection of Georgia 400 and Ga. 53 in Dawsonville. The ski park would have two indoor hockey rinks, five ski runs of varying difficulties, a half-pipe for snowboarding, a snowmobile track, four hotels, 30 restaurants and 800,000 sq. ft. of residential and retail space.

The first indoor ski facility in the United States, a $1.3 billion project called Meadowlands Xanadu, is due to open in 2008 off the New Jersey Turnpike, a few miles from Manhattan.
