The #1 Place in the U.S.A. for an Artificial Slope

Who woulda thunk it? The leading artificial slope in the U.S.A. for doing freestyle tricks is at a university founded by fundamentalist Christian leader Jerry Falwell.

Snowboard Revolution took in the grand opening of the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center, which uses a synthetic material (Snowflex) to simulate an alpine slope.

Writer Billy Bacon was impressed with what he saw.

I’d prefer to go freeriding, but freestyle snowboarding is a great way to make use of limited terrain. Congratulations to Liberty University for taking on this project.

(For obvious reasons, this reminds me of an episode from the TV show “King of the Hill,” titled “Reborn to be Wild.”)
