It would be hilarious if this technology reached a point where it was better than groomed snow, and they end up having to clear the slopes of snow in winter for people to buy tickets.....it would be like a twilight zone episode
Nothing will be better than groomed snow. Second alot of people like skiing because of the freedom on a mountain, the surroundings and atmosphere you don't get with synthetic shit. And thirdly, it would be way smarter to put this on a mountain where it doesn't snow so it eliminates that issue, if it were to be better than groomed snow, which it will never be.
Powder is softly packed snow after a solid snowfall. Nothing like skiing waist deep powder and getting covered in snow every turn you make. You should come visit Colorado or Utah for skiing. You'd probably enjoy it!
RideFreestyleOhio its one of those things you would definitely not want to use a good snowboard on. use something you would use out in urban snowboarding.
We have this in Wales. However, it has been disused for sometime. Everything was rusted. It's in the middle of nowhere and I stumbled onto it while hiking in the mountain. We thought we have discovered a secret base. However, the slope is so step I wonder how they ever stop at the bottom.
I learned freestyle snowboarding on a slope like this, looks a bit silly but it really does work well, it's actually harder than doing it in the snow so it's a great way to learn quickly, your technique needs to be much better than it needs to be in real snow. (You also learn quick because falling hurt like hell ;p)
if you face-plant @ 50+ mph, does it offer the same cushioning as snow? or the numbing of its cold , for real if i fail at high speed what kind of cushioning can i expect?
I’d rather have real snow just because the coldness and environment is one of my favorite parts of skiing and this doesn’t have the same feeling at all. But, for year around this would be okay I guess.
Kalebbistis wow that makes no sense man that's just sad I mean sucking as nothing to do with heating up your board or the firmness of the ground you sir have failed horribly and have been chosen to die to thin out the herd... Good luck in the after life kiddo I'm sure you'll do great... 😒
Em Garibaldi, tivemos por 30 anos uma estação de esqui artificial (1970 /2000)! Com um porém, todas as peças , esquis, botas e teleférico, foram produzidos no Brasil , pelo idealizador David Afonso Santini! In Garibaldi, we had for 30 years an artificial ski station (1970/2000)! With one however, all the pieces, skis, boots and cable car, were produced in Brazil, by the idealizer David Afonso Santini!
Lol, we've had this in England for decades. It's a real shame they've closed most of them though and replaced them with stupidly expensive indoor snow slopes.
Nick N if it's white it will look dirty. Obviously the green shit will get dirty but it wont be as much of an eye sore. The same way your shit smears show on white underwear but not on darker colored underwear.
Nick N lmao, so you would just want a white plastic hill that looks like it’s covered in shit in your hometown? That’s what he’s talking about. No shit it will get dirty, just like the green material will get dirty. But dirt and stains show up a lot easier on white than other colors.
I live right down the road from buck hill and i snowboards there all the time...in the winter. Cause fuck that shit. Also it hurts like hell if you fall
You only lose 22.3% of your skin every time you wipe out. So it's really not that bad.
Anthony Fellows hahaha! Not bad
Anthony Fellows just wear skate pads though and you’ll be fine.....
Hahahahahaha, they should put them to jail for that invention hahahaha
I laughed
It’ll teach you not to fall on this or real snow.
This demonstrates how important setting is to the experience
EXACTLY!
So true

Cameron K Hey with technology, ya never know. Maybe magnetic boards you float on?
If there is no snow then it is not real skiing. The whole experience and texture of snow underneath you is what gives the sport its magic.
Mr Banana808 owchie :,(
Its great for when it doesn't snow
They couldn't have made it white?
Haha, good point
Good point
haha nice point
IBegToDiffer200 White will get much dirtier, a lot quicker.
Seems liek to piece and unpiece would be a lot trickier, not to mention cleaning
Looks like Lego grass
Top Rap Tracks Yep, totally agreed.
"The year is 2085 and snow no longer exists on earth, but ski resorts still exist"
Nothing like skiing deep pow though
EagleLogic so true
What's that I've never seen deep powder on my hill I live in Michigan it's always ice
Powder is softly packed snow after a solid snowfall. Nothing like skiing waist deep powder and getting covered in snow every turn you make. You should come visit Colorado or Utah for skiing. You'd probably enjoy it!
EagleLogic I'm going next winter this should be fun
EagleLogic yesss bro,,, only bad part is falling in powder cuz you can’t get out lol
This has existed for quite some time. I remember when i was about 4 years old and practiced on such slopes in Hungary. Quite smart.
How to ruin your skis in 5 min
Melvin Sandberg I use my old snowboard
Why not make it white?
Maniak it would be blinding
Nah white would be fine, black would be the worst color for it.
It will get dirty lmao
It would get so dirty
The blood (this stuff rips you up)
She says "It feels like hard packed snow when you fall," But judging by the way she rides, it looks like she has never been on any snow! LOL
I love how he’s go proing but can barely turn. Great video.
But how often will I need to wax my snowboard?
RideFreestyleOhio its one of those things you would definitely not want to use a good snowboard on. use something you would use out in urban snowboarding.
RideFreestyleOhio o
Oi this shit cut trough the wax and scratched my board
About twenty-six times per run.
RideFreestyleOhio yea i dont think either of us want to know.... (snowboarder talking here)
Imagine falling on this, talk about rug burn!
There will never be a true replacement to fresh cold powder.

he did it like 1000 times but rides ski like a noob...
Porsche Guy he really rides the ski
Switch to a snowboard. Skiing old asf
TJ Prescott Never
Vlisto always
i agree
That... was depressing.
IrascibleForester 267 they’re probably dead it’s too late
If this is depressing. You have some major issues.
Were you not allowed to have fun growing up?
What's the deal?
@@JB-1138 if I had to use this I'd get sad and nostalgic thinking how nice it is to ski in snow on long runs lol
I learned freestyle snowboarding on a slope like this, looks a bit silly but it really does work well, it's actually harder than doing it in the snow so it's a great way to learn quickly, your technique needs to be much better than it needs to be in real snow.
(You also learn quick because falling hurt like hell ;p)
They have this already on mount hood in Oregon for skiing in the summer. I must say pretty cool though
This is PERFECT for places that don't have snow!!!
No shit genius.
How uncool...haha, get it! :)
R I am going to pretend u never said that
Ha ha ha 😐
^ nice!
R you ok? haha, get it! :(
Since you used an exclamation mark and no question mark, I interpret your comment as being written in imperative.
I couldn’t do it, there’s no snow to throw or terrain to go through!
That kid named Charlie yeah it would be like going down a bunny hill
This already existed like maybe 30 - 40 yeats ago in Europe
Boris Kok that's alot of yeats ago
There’s a lot in the uk
Eddie the eagle used it in the 70’s lmao
Yah yeet yah
They said around 50 years in the video
Hope this isn’t what the future of snow is cough cough climate change
Sean Allers cough couch not here in British Columbia on the mountains we have over 20 feet of the white stuff
No this is just for when we colonize mars
Cough chough a hoax
AA JK Climate change and global warming are different
The climate is getting cooler now
When you fall I bet that would feel awesome. Also that must be a great way to scratch up your skis.

Was there before! Didn't like it, hard and heats up your board.
Kalebbistis no it’s not. Neveplast is shit
Kalebbistis wow that makes no sense man that's just sad I mean sucking as nothing to do with heating up your board or the firmness of the ground you sir have failed horribly and have been chosen to die to thin out the herd... Good luck in the after life kiddo I'm sure you'll do great... 😒
Kalebbistis iTz bECaUse u S U C C
Tokin wait wtf thin out the heard ?
Tokin he probably doesn’t understand why you said heard instead of herd.
Ski tuners: Stonks
"Where's John?"
"He's on top of Buck Hill"
Learnt to ski on this stuff it makes skiing on the real stuff easy as chips
That music though 😂😂

Lol, we've had this in England for decades. It's a real shame they've closed most of them though and replaced them with stupidly expensive indoor snow slopes.
That looks so fun and I hardly go skiing or snowboarding
Thanks to Dry Ski Slopes, Olynpic Winter Games can be held anywhere in the future.
That is a cool product. could do with a little less retro news people in the vid.
Harrison Howard does retro mean old? Lol
That looks cool, I wish there was one near me.
We have had them in most counties in England for pretty much the last 30 years. Is this new to america?
I am a supplier of the dry ski slope snowboarding, so if you need any help, please let me know
Near where I live in Britain there is a whole facility with real snow and it’s quite cold
What's the name of the song with the electric guitar? I've heard it before somewhere in like a flash game when I was younger
Nirvana darrude sandstorm
U mean the yogscast intro
Frank Bin no
my bad thought you meant the part at 0:20
0:40 Did this dude just say that they are the only skiing and snowboarding facility in north america? Sry to break it to you but you're wrong sir
Kinda looks like he might blow out he's knees at any second. Definitely does not look like he's "gliding" across it
1:10 Maybe it's his pants flapping
They have that stuff at a real snowboard lift and when there is no snow on it u get stuck
Hi there, Is it possible to have permission to use some of this footage for a fundraising campaign? I want to demo what dry slope is like.
I can't wait for the 2060 Winter Olympics where this stuff will actually be used because all of the snow is gone! Woooow!
The difference is that it hurts more when you fall
What does that do to the bottom of your skis or snowboarding
We need this on the east coast!
Holy hell imagine falling in that it’s like running and sliding on a rug
I need that here in desert! xD
Couldnt they make it white? Haha
legrate why does it matter though. White's gonna get all dirty and shit
Nick N if it's white it will look dirty. Obviously the green shit will get dirty but it wont be as much of an eye sore. The same way your shit smears show on white underwear but not on darker colored underwear.
Nick N lmao, so you would just want a white plastic hill that looks like it’s covered in shit in your hometown? That’s what he’s talking about. No shit it will get dirty, just like the green material will get dirty. But dirt and stains show up a lot easier on white than other colors.
that wasnt your point you just dont know what to say, nobody would like spending money on this new product if it looked like shit. grow up
legrate can’t believe some Americans.
Bizarre.
Those gaps between them are disconcerting, that would be a dangerous crash -getting a ski stuck under a loose mat.
So i guess snowboarding and skiing is a summer sport now
That’ll be one crazy rug burn
Does it not wreak havoc on your equipment?
Wasn't the background song from Fine Bros?
Really every one loves skiing in RVA bring this to rva!!
Wow, great idea! this project could work in the hot continent countries!! Good job for bringing this out👍
What’s the longevity of this material?
They should have this in the summer Olympics
neverplast is so awful to board on and its nothing like groomed snow haha, the best dry slopes are made from snowflex
falling looks like it would be soooo painful
I thought it was a green screen at first, that would be cool
God its got to be a nightmare running that tow rope.
Would this ruin your skis or board?
In case you want to know buckhill is really fun in the winter not the summer
How does this compare to Snowflex facilities?
Wiping out on this must really hurt..
I thought this was a lego baseplate at first lol
I thought these were a bunch of legos at first lol
that is so cool, what is it made out of
would be pain to fall on a kicker there, more painful that faling on asphalt when sateboarding.
The classic cliche disney movie music song. Good job CBS Minnesota
Why not just skate?
Why are people skiing on legos ???
We need this in CT!!!
BRING THIS TO TEXAS
Wait isn't Liberty Mountain Snowflex bigger? Plus it's white.
so how exactly would you carve with skis?
Could you make snow over this in the winter?
The best thing for the midwest
this is my favorite song :))))
Wish my state had it. But my state is lame and boring. During the warm months I’m doing sports and skateboarding but one it becomes winter I shred
No powder days?! No fresh tracks?!
I feel like the bottom of your skis would get so scratched from that
drive past here all the time. never see anyone using it.
I mean that’s very cool, but nothing beats powder snow
I'm just wondering how my race edge would handle this
That's not true Liberty university has a white Snow Plex exactly like this
This is awesome
They should at least paint it white.. help with the illusion a little bit
I live right down the road from buck hill and i snowboards there all the time...in the winter. Cause fuck that shit. Also it hurts like hell if you fall
Do you really want me to believe that synthetic "snow" feells like real snow?
In the uk down my road there is a artificial slope and it’s like twice as big and it’s not even that popular😂
It looks like it has no bit to it it’s just slipping. I but it also kills your skis after a bit
Can they put this in Texas somewhere it dosent snow???
What is it called
