Has anyone been there? My friend and I are thinking about going there over the summer for a few days but I'm not sure if I wanna drive 9 hours if it's not gonna be worth it. We read that they make everyone start at a beginner slope then they allow you to go to more advanced stuff and we mainly want to go to hit some park features. Do they only let certain people in their terrain park area or is it open to everyone?

Used to go there weekly. It's sick, you learn shit fast.
A few tips:

-Don't be discouraged by your first couple runs. It takes a little bit to get used to the material. But once you get it, you'll love it.

-Ski at night. It's cooler, and the better skiers and boarders come out then.

-Don't be afraid of rain. it makes the slope faster and keeps you cool.


Cheers

As of a year ago that wasn't the case. As long as you seem like a competent skier you'll be fine. Also, bring a helmet as they are required.

Snowflex is sick differently come down I used to drive down from Maine all the time. They won't make you go in the beginner slope that's just for people that have never skied. You should check out the camps we have so much fun!

The trampoline is legit, almost makes the drive worth it alone. It;s gotten much better since this video when snowflex first opened too . Its been fenced in, got a better mat, and theres a big pad to huck onto

Don't forget about the beginner slope outside the lodge. You can learn some stuff really fast. Definitely ride at night too. Also, only pay for one hour. They don't check tickets much

BULLSHIT

BE AFRAID OF RAIN!!!!

It had just opened when I went with PaleCelery. Only video was of some people from the UK I think tucking into the booter for speed. I hadn't hit it yet but decided to give it a go. Nobody else riding but us. I didn't want to case it so I sat on my board and tucked into it. Apparently rain makes it go ton faster. Hit the transition of the jump so hard that it sent me inverted and I went over halfway down the landing and died.

Still not scared?


You will be...


You will be...




That said the place is sweet. Me and Pale did some whippits in the lot and explored the place the night before. Met some cool locals there while riding the next day. They only had a flat box and dfd at that point but it was a good time. Always have wanted to go back but it's so far away from me.

Hella flat boxes, few kinked boxes, rainbow box, big up-flat-down box, a few rails and the small jump, medium jump, and big jump. Near the beginner slope they have a bunch of extra rails lying around that theyll put up for you if you ask them too. Its pretty fun, i live an hour away so i go there alot.
