Alpine-X wants indoor ski resorts in Austin, Dallas

Alpine-X wants to bring snow to the Lone Star State with its indoor snowsport venue.

The Virginia-based company is opening its first location in its hometown but hopes to open the doors to an indoor ski and snowboard resort in Texas by early 2025, according to an announcement from the company.

Alpine-X executives said they have signed a letter of intent with a developer to build resorts in Austin and Dallas. The company said it will partner with the unnamed developer to form a joint venture to select sites and raise capital for at least two resorts in the state.

While the company is still working on specific designs for the resorts, it said the locations would include an indoor snow area with dedicated areas for skiing and snowboarding. There will be lessons available and areas to play in the snow. The resorts will also include hotels, multiple restaurants and other facilities, according to the announcement.

The company said there was potential for additional resorts after the two initial Texas properties.

“This is part of our growth strategy that targets major North American metropolitan areas,” CEO John Emery said. “We are aiming to establish a footprint of Alpine-X branded resorts and the dynamic Texas market is a perfect spot for our properties.”

Alpine-X expects to identify the specific sites in the coming months. While it hasn’t yet named its development partner publicly, it has published an email address for development-related inquiries: [email protected].
