City leaders in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie are expected to vote in January on a proposed domed ski facility that would be the country's first snow dome. The $215 million plan (called the Grand Alps Resort) would cover 60 acres with seven slopes, a snowboard course, and a Hard Rock Hotel. A local city official says that raising money won't be easy, and gives the project a 50% chance of happening. [CBS DFW]
