Bundle Up Buttercups Snow Is Headed To The Great State of Texas
Fall is finally in the air Texas… and it’s only end of November!
Even though it wasn’t one of the hottest summers in Texas on record, it sure has felt like it was the longest! Just two weeks ago in Texas and the high was still be in the 90’s!
That’s why it’s even more exciting that snow is coming to Texas!
Bundle Up Buttercups, Snow is Coming to Texas!
Who remembers having to grab socks for gloves because no one was really prepared for the snow to fall, especially on of all nights…Christmas Eve in 2004?
That was an absolute Christmas miracle!
Texans are freaking out learning that snow is once again headed their way! And the best part? The snow is here to STAY! The questions Texans have to ask themselves is this… how is our ski game?I’m willing to bet over half of Texans, especially in the southern region have had little to zero experience on the slopes.
Well, that’s all about to change. Here we go TEXAS SNOW!
Texas is about to be the home of an entire INDOOR ski resort!
Crazy right? A ski resort in Texas?
The company is named Alpine X and they expect to open the first of two Texas locations in 2025.
According to Alpine X’s website, the project is called The Alpine-X Central Texas | Austin Texas Project. “We have entered into a letter of intent with a project landowner for a potential Alpine-X resort in the Austin, TX area. The Austin metropolitan area is one of the fastest-growing in the country and is attracting many other active entertainment experiences that will complement an Alpine-X resort. Additionally, the Austin area attracts more than 27 million visitors annually. So, in addition to drawing from the local population, we can also provide a unique venue for visitors to explore and enjoy.”
Did you know that Texas has the second most skiers and third most snowboarders of any state in the country?
“Get ready to ski in a ten-gallon hat because we’re bringing snow year-round to the Lone Star State.” Alpine X offers! What about an Alpine X in the Crossroads?
See you on the slopes y’all!
