Perfect is the closest place to me as well. They should look into the stuff Liberty has down in Virginia. Although I think it may be patented

Some places that got an airbag with snoflex/dendex, and also had a few rails you could lap didn't seem to get the people needed to make it worth while. Would be cool to see if it works out. But a big investment for some of these places, and I could see them not wanting to shell out the $$$.

It sucks but honestly a lot of people don't give a fuck about skiing after march. Their out on the boat, riding their bikes, golf clubs, beaches, etc. Are there enough die hards to justify it, and are they going to be willing to pay enough to make it worth while.

For instance if they did it and it cost $20 a day. Would people just bitch about how that's too much money to ride it/ go a few times and be over it.

We used to go to one that was just rails in Whaleback NH/VT border. Was pretty fun, and generally saw some people out riding.

Probably the best way would be to go super scaled back. Maybe 2 rails with normal drop ins, no lift, no airbag. I don't see people wanting to spend much money, or even that many people wanting to ski it, so if the costs can be low as fuck, it could work.

That said, if it's pretty much just going to be a backyard setup, why not build your own?

Weather kept looking nice and then it’d jump up to like 50 degrees and rain and get rid of so much snow
