If the lifts are closed, can we hike for turns?

I wonder how well skins work on that stuff.If the lifts are closed, can we hike for turns?
Or does the college consider using skins a sin?I wonder how well skins work on that stuff.
Has anyone from AZ ever actually skied/boarded on this stuff?
I think something like what Liberty is doing is great for the sport. Maybe some of the Nelsap areas near urban centers could look at this as an option for re-opening and to help grow the sport. I don't think it would make sense to offer this type of 'skiing' up in the mountains themselves as it's doubtful people would drive very far to experience it, but if you had this available a short ride outside of Boston, NYC etc it might be a great thing for the industry.

thetrailboss said:Neat. I recall skiing on that stuff in Scotland. If you fall, it hurts like a bit^& though!
Glad folks listen to me..... :roll: [sigh]

Did you ski on the snowflex stuff or the old stuff? It sounds to me like the technology has improved greatly. Well, that's according to the company's marketing video :lol:
Why do they show pictures of people in ski clothing? If it's cold enough to have to wear winter clothing, I'd think that most people would much rather be sliding on real or frankensnow...
Depends on if it was available in 2002. That's when I skied at Hillend in Scotland.
From another thread I started four years ago:
The most oddest that comes to mind is the Hillend Dry Ski Area just outside Edinburgh, Scotland. You could 'hire' skis and a lift ticket by the hour to ski the dry ski slopes via a chairlift and two T-bars 365 days a year. Just be careful if you fall--it really hurts on the mats, which are like giant toothbrushes :x
