I went there last year and it was fun but got kinda boring after a while, i don't see how i could go to a camp there for a week. If i were you i would raise more money and try to go somewhere else. I don't think a camp there is worth it.

I have been to liberty twice now and it was supper fun each time. The jumps are sick because you can just lap them all day and it does not hurt that bad to fall(snowflex has padding under the surface). The rails kinda suck tho i am not going to lie and it is $5 and hour although the one time i went they did not really care that much if you had a pass but the other time they did. I would suggest long sleeves because you will get made cuts on you arms. Overall supper sick place and i would suggest to just about anyone. You can learn a good amount of stuff because the jump is always prime and it never changes.

jump is big enough for dubs. That being said, you shouldnt get bored if your willing to push yourself.

its pretty good. takes a few runs, to get used to it.
the jumps are great, but the rails are real sketchy imo. But overall sick. WEAR LONG SLEEVES!

huck your balls off....its fucking padded. Hard to explain until you ride it....then your in love. Practice a few laps too just feeling your edges out. Towards the end your should be able to carve switch no problem. A tip! Lots of campgrounds in the area usually $15 or less per night. Save your money and camp out in the national forest, its fun as fuck anyway

Seriously the only negatives are:

It will be hot as fuck, its Virginia in the summer so it should be expected.

Even though its hot as fuck, you should cover bare skin. Its a carpet material, so again its should be expected.

You will get wet due to the misting system, not much different then slushy spring skiing. If you backseat or fall, your wet. Feels good in the summer anyway.


All this snowflex talk, now i need to plan my summer camping trips to VA! God dam you short winter season. Only couple weeks left here in PA.

would riding snowflex with skis that have edge ripping out be a bad idea. Would it get caught.

I do not think so but I am not positive. Its more of a "slide to the right, side to the left" feeling instead of "carve right or left". Mine are filed to shit and I didnt have a problem.

Think of your edging during icy conditions, its kind of like that. Minus the hard landings!

Snow flex is amazing
ive been there 4 times, snowflex has a ropetow, 8ft big jump 6ft jump and a roller, or u can hit rails about three hits per run if not more recomend going. its super cheap 5 dollars an hour
