liberty university is in lynchburg virginia and it's kinda ironic because its one of the most christian, republican schools in america. hahah, there was another thread on this. heres a link to the website for this: http://www.liberty.edu/snowflex/index.cfm?MID=358

Naaa   the thread title is deceiving.  This is in Lynchburg Virginia - Liberty University NOT Liberty Mountain Pennsylvania. What is cool is that one of these has finally hit the states. They are very popular in the UK and surrounding areas.

All the information photos and videos can be found here:

I think I read on here once that it burns pretty bad to fall, so you gotta cover up pretty good and that it can burn through clothes if it gets bad. I'm not 100% though.

I know the ones in UK do. From what I've heard anyways. This guy who was at momentum last year told me that he knew someone who had a nipple torn off from a fall. And that you get bloodied up real bad if you fall. You don't want skin showing apparently. Like you learn not to fall because falling sucks so much. I've never done it this is just from people who ride that stuff.

Maybe this new one is a different type though.

I'm wondering if it is even open to the public....   Wonder what it takes to be a "prospective student"

"
While on LU’s campus, prospective students, current students, alumni and their families can spend quality time together, taking full advantage of everything the slope offers, including skiing, snowboarding and tubing.

i think it would be a very poor decision to not let the public use it if that is indeed the case

seems like a lot of money to build...people going to the university probably don't ski that much anyway...

really smart, initial investment is probably high but upkeep is probably really cheap compared to the upkeep of a good park in the winter

on www.snowflex.com you have to look at the project examples, there you can see that the slope will consist two rollers and another slope with rails, sick...
It falls pretty soft, but snowflex fucks up your skis after a while...
