It looks like there is no snow in the facility - at least that what it looks like for the Utah facility that they are said to be emulating.

I call it a "gym" if there is no snow.

Yeah not a slope really just a smaller park areas. Still, that'll be fun.

Edit: is it that fake stuff like they use at Ward Ski Hill ?

Here's a mockup:

Saw that on Boston.com a couple days ago. Not interested. Give me cold and snow. Not artificial grass/snow and foam blocks ... I'm sure the park kids will love it however.

More like an indoor park training facility. It reminds me of the indoor skate parks that my kids go to/used to go to. Would not want to slip on the ramp those plastic rings can give some nice raspberries!

Cool concept in any case! I thought Xanadu north too at first!

I would like to see a Snowflex Center concept!

Yeah if it's just a park thing it's not something I'd use either. Is this basically what they have over at Ski Ward in the summer?
