Does anyone here ski Snow Flex? What are the main things to be careful about when switching from snow to dry?

you wont get much edge, so there is a tendency to slip out. yeah cover up you'll get burns through thin layers so it is horrible when its hot out, because you have to risk getting major burns..

Snowflex is quick, quicker when wet.

Thing about dryslope is that it's extremely consistent. I ski dryslope most weeks and I always know how fast to hit stuff (rails/kickers). The only time I need to "learn" how fast to go for stuff is when I visit a different place.

It's great fun skiing on dryslope, but as most people will agree it doesn't always substitute well for snow.
