Transcript

Seventy three days. That's all we have to turn this completely empty building into Seattle's first indoor ski and snowboard center. No one has ever done this before. Literally no one. This is gonna change the way you ski forever. So come inside and see what we've got cooking. Speed run tour. First, a massive indoor terrain park with boxes, rails, jumps, and a huge airbag that you can finally get your first back flip in. Next, the two ski machines. These are the world's biggest treadmills, but for skiers. And then right over there is gonna be the beginner focus dry slope. Turning from our beginner slope over to the center of the building, we have our performance trampolines. These These things will probably bounce you as high as the ceiling, and they're perfect for trying out new tricks. Then right behind the trampolines is gonna be our Nordic ski machines. These are perfect for your cross country and back country skiers to train their uphill endurance. Then a tune shop, anything you need, waxes, tunes, mounts, repairs, get it right there. This is our cafe where we will serve coffee, boba, energy drinks, empanadas, and other food. And finally, a full retail shop where you'll be able to get skis, snowboards, boots, gear, literally anything you need, you'll be able to get it here. No follow along, because seventy three days from now, this place becomes Stoke Mountain.
