unbelievable,
I hope the works out better than grass skiing did

nooooo... aug 29th???

Mt plan was to visit my friend there mid aug and go "skiing" before heading back to PSU on the 20th or so. Now no skiing until nov/dec... booo.

Cant wait to see vids from it though

Gotta love the one reader comment about how he is a REAL skier and won't go, cause he only ski's REAL mountains.

Exactly what is a REAL skier and what are REAL mountains?

Skiing there would be supporting the religious and political agenda of the sponsoring organization. If you don't want to do this; wait. If this Snowflex stuff is as good as claimed in the pages I've googled, there will be more.

Sorry for the double post

I will be there August 2 with bells on!!

Wear grip guards.

I had a good time.

It is opened daily right now from 5-10PM and the charge is $5 an hour for Mon-Wed, and $7/hr Thu-Sun for non-students.
The vibe was good.
I was asked to hit the beginner hill 2X before going to the main slope. I was very willing to do that, But was laughing inside.

Grand opening is August 29th, when at that time prices will change to half-day and full day passes, common to most hills. but I am told the pricing will stay close to the $5/hr or $7/hr range.

A ski and snowboard school is being created.

It took me a couple runs to start and figure it out, but I was very glad to be riding in August!
The surface material is interesting. I typed all about it at that forum, visit and check it out. You wont have to log in to read and view pics.
