Liberty Mountain Snowflex

Idk maybe it's just me but hiking rails on a shadeless and scorching hot dry slope just doesn't sound fun. Virginia is super humid too.

I think they have a jump line but falling on that msnow space turf shit prolly hurts like hell. If they have tramps and foam pits inside with ac that would be gas but idk if they do.

You could ski actual snow a few hours away.

It's 45 mins from my house and I haven't gone yet. Planning on it this summer. You can ski actual snow at Wintergreen resort (my local) or snowshoe which is a lot further away. Massanutten isn't worth your time

@IsaacShepard check out his edits. It’s weird to get used to. But once you do it’s super fun

Its pretty fun, I used to go a few times a year. Ropetow and super consistent jump make it easy to hot lap and try stuff. Takes a couple runs to get used to the surface but then youll be good. Just wear long sleeves and gloves.

Thanks man. I was having a hard time finding any decent content at the place. Looks sick

Yeah I'm more interested in tryin something new than skiing at a little hill with no snow.

Lonelyso you haven't actually been

Ive thought about going but have never been

I love the place, I go every summer. It's like poor man's mt hood for me.

The material that they use actually has a layer of padding between it and the ground itself so it is softer than you'd think to fall on. The jump is prime if you can get the speed dialed (aka not hit it in the dead heat of the day with full sun)

Looks sick man thank you

In regards to clothing:
-If you go in a few weeks - it will not be that hot. Maybe not even hot at all.
-If by chance it is hot and you want to wear a t shirt:
step 1: take long socks.
step 2: cut the foot part off, leaving just the leg part.
step 3: use this on your elbows. The surface is no joke.
-Wear snow pants (an old pair if you don't want them getting torn up) or something that protects your skin.
-Wear rope tow and temp appropriate gloves/mitts (thin leather or fake leather or any glove you don't care about).

In regards to riding:
-As mentioned before, there is padding under the bristle surface so it is somewhat low impact if you crash. You won't feel much difference in impact for rails and boxes but on the jumps this is super helpful.
-It is cooler in the mornings and evenings but as mentioned, probs won't get that hot. The surface relies on water to reduce friction so if it's cooler, it will stay faster. Keep that in mind if you are out early, go in for a break and come back and suddenly everything is sticky or slower.
-Don't be afraid to pizza/switch pizza. It is not the easiest surface to carve on/hockey stop on. If you need to speed check just a little it is way easier to pizza that throw your skis sideways.

In regards to worthiness:
-Absolutely worth it. It is different and anyone who compares it to backyard setups is just straight yuck. You can legit ski and piece different lines. Also, jumps are super sick(knuckle, 10 foot, 20ish foot but also super long landing so you can send it pretty far). There's also no where or very few other places that compare so it's cool to have the experience. Also it's like less than $10 for a ticket so why not?

It’s a sick place that I’d for sure check out. I go every summer for camp and the vibe goes hard. Very good place to progress. Since the surface has foam under it, if you fall it doesn’t hurt. The only common injury you could get would be from burns so make sure to wear long sleeves and pants. It’s also a sprinkler kinda misting system so you’ll get wet too. I 100% recommended trying it out tho. The bunny hill is great for learning tricks and then the transition is easy to take it to the steeper upper hill

Definitely worth it!
Take all the advice of protecting your skin from the surface.
Bring a bar of rub on wax.

Great info. I'm probably just gonna be sticking to the rails and the airbag for the most part. Probably do a lot of filming. My work requires that I'm not injured so I don't plan on doing anything too nuts

JhaekDefinitely worth it!

I'll have plenty of surf wax. That's what you're supposed to rub all over the rails right??

Lol - yeah and all over your body so you don't get turf rash...jk - use real ski wax for your bases because it helps slide on the "turf" and that stuff strips the wax off your skis

Oh also detuning ur edges will help

if you want to session a fun, consistent, jump that is good for learning new tricks then I would recommend. Rails are alright, weren't as fun for me as the jump. here is an old edit from there, not sure if much has changed.....
