According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, an Atlanta developer wants to build the longest and highest indoor ski dome in the world just off Georgia 400 on the shore of Lake Lanier.
The $1 billion indoor winter wonderland would have three indoor hockey rinks, five half-mile ski runs, a half-pipe for snowboarding, a one-mile track for snowmobiles, four hotels, 30 restaurants and 800,000 square feet of residential and retail space each.
Known as "Mount Pegasus," the development would be one of the largest resort destinations in Georgia, covering 400 acres southeast of the intersection of Georgia 400 and Ga. 53 in Dawsonville. The site is across from the North Georgia Premium Outlets and a 900,000-square-foot retail project proposed by The Sembler Co.
The plans were presented to the Dawson County Development Authority board on Aug. 28, 2007.
