only conceivable way it can be done in our area, in my opinion.....someone who may be filthy rich or hits the lottery builds a facility, keeps it privately owned, and keeps it "underground."

until that happens, I'll gladly ride my fat bike through the winter and make the 3.5 hour drive to Milwaukee a few times.

I don't think the QCA could sustain the Ray's business model. An immense amount of upfront capital needed, a large amount of on-hand capital for operating expenses, and the right piece of property. On top of that, I don't think there's a large enough rider demographic here to support it.
