The only Indoor Ski Slope in North America is right here in the Meadowlands. Big Snow is located at the American Dream Mall and it's a blast for experienced and novice skiers. Those new to the sport will find the gentle slope and small crowd size helpful when learning how to stop and turn, and more experienced skiers can use the excellent lift-to-slope-time ratio to run drills, practice new skills, or try out park features.
