Artificial Ski Slope at Liberty University

The university created by Jerry Falwell is creating an artificial ski slope. The slope will use “Snowflex,” a product developed in the U.K.

It’s going to be fairly modest in scale, but students may find it useful for practicing freestyle moves.

Artificial slopes haven’t caught on much in the U.S., mostly because we have the real deal. Given that the cost of creating an artificial slope is going to constrain its size to a freestyle emphasis, I see little demand for such a facility from adult riders.
