Edit: Page Top!

i dont see how you can hit kickers on that kind of a surface. wouldnt the impact be too much or is it really soft and have a little give to it?

Gotta be softer than most east coast terrain parks.

Packed powder, a beauty of a marketing oxy moron!

So this is classic training material. Get the kids to learn how to ride flat base to flippy spiny jib bonkers to hockey stop...only with no carve or finesse other than the flippy spiny jib bonk.

We've got it on our local 'hill', 150 vertical feet of thigh burning hell, or not as the case may be. I found snowflex similar to riding on sheet ice; it doesn't edge very easily and can be very slippery. On the plus side though, it's definitely softer than the old fashioned dendix to fall on; unfortunately it will still give you nasty burns even through long-sleeved clothing.



I suppose the only good thing about it is that you can still get some in July, August, September and October and know that you haven't got to hike 5 hours to a snow-field that may or may not be skiable.
