Liberty University building 1st Snowflex ski/boarding slope in US

[Rambo]

Liberty University Christian college in Lynchsburg Virginia is building the 1st snowflex ski/boarding slope in the US. The original announcement of this project was one of the last things Jerry Falwell did before he died a couple of years ago. I think the project is costing $1.7 million.

That would be a cool way to get some runs in during the warmer months.

Seems like overkill. All you really need is the top part to skier's left.

i wonder how much it would cost to install a short bump run on my property....

I was wondering who had enough of a hill in their yard to put one in. Make sure you put in two lines so we can do side by side comps.

good point

Are those bumps seeded or natural?

What's that hill built from? Bodies of sinners who didn't repent?

Hopefully seeded or most of us would never be able to ski them.

That's why I was asking.

Are they hard icy bumps or soft spring?

Hooray, another thread turned into a bump hijack!

But at least that half-pipe looks small to medium sized.

 

[SkiDork]

the demo video only had 1 bump skier. Not getting nearly as much attention as the pipe and booter

Neat. I recall skiing on that stuff in Scotland. If you fall, it hurts like a bit^& though!

 

[Grassi21]

bump for stoke

 

[TheBEast]

Looks cool for the jibbers.....not so sure about the bumps....I think they'd tend to be the hard/icy kind....who knows. Does look cool!

Good question, is there padding in there?

 

[jaywbigred]

Has anyone from AZ ever actually skied/boarded on this stuff?

 

[Rambo]

I'm trying to figure out what kind of snowboards they are using here. Looks like those cheap all plastic models made for kids.

 

[Mapnut]

Do you have to be Born again to use it?

I dunno, but it sure sounds to me like defying God's will.
