Has anyone ever skied on this surface? We are thinking about stopping in to give it a try this summer!

I posted about this last summer, I think.

I think Ski Ward in Framingham, MA uses this stuff and you can "ski / ride" there in the summer.

I would be willing to bet it would burn if you fell on it like a rug

The version at Liberty has misters under the surface to keep it wet so rug burns are reduced. Would like the try it!

TB used to talk about the same technology being used in some ski areas in Scotland. Those rugburns must really sting though.

This technology has been predominantly used in Scotland, England and other areas around Europe since there are limited with snow accumulation.

Wow, I'd love to try that....if it were 1K' vert with even a little bit of pitch....

Apparently, Skatelite hard surface with rolled skis is better for training.....:
