sounds so sick. They should probably build it in an area where there is a larger population of skiers but the winters are shitty. Such as toronto, boston, nj, new york state. Although like the video said, its better for drier climates so I guess texas is ideal.

everyone knows cowboys dont ski

but seriously, i love the snowblader 540 on the qp. it made it so much more extreme
and i definately wish i had access to any snowflex facility anywhere. i would die if there was one 300 miles around

this is good for people sick of texans crowding the mountains on the holidays. and im glad that theyre bringing skiing to places that would never think about it. but seriously this can NEVER replace the feel of cold fresh powder straight from mother nature's womb.

errmmm...snowflex ideally works in temperatures ranging between 2 and 10 degrees C. Anything above 20 degrees the slope gets slow. So I'm hoping theres a very good sprinkler system.

I've skied on all the dryslopes they showed on the video, looks sick though, much better than anything here in england, snowflex is pitty hard to turn on though, but its pitty fun for kickers
