I couldn't read the whole thing either lol. I kinda speed-read it, Lanier wouldn't let them build over 15 stories high due to county regulations. I personally don't see why they don't go up to extreme north GA and take advantage of the already mountainous landscape rather than try to build a gigantic ramp on flat ground. GA actually had a ski resort (

Dawson may actually be pretty hilly considering how far up north it is, who knows. They made a great point though, there's millions of people in the metro Atlanta area, and we don't get much snow, if any honestly, so a resort like that would be a cash cow for a few brave inves

I'm just glad that the sport is gaining so much momentum.
