[iJib]

[WIllW]

crazy, if they could figure out how to make it be refreshed with powder every time around that would be sweet

and what happens to people who cant keep up haha

 

[ski_cartel]

thats sweet man, wicked idea

 

[S2daJ]

weird!! what happens if you crash??? do you just get sucked into the mtn range like on a tred mil?

 

[iJib]

haha good point, i wonder with all the millions they spent on research if they thought about that.

 

[Albrecht.]

grrr the SNOWBOARD park has a 250 SNOWBOARDER capacity

 

[S2daJ]

wow it has a park??? thats just crazy.

 

[4frntSkier]

theres already a dope indoor slope in dubai

google it

ski dubai

 

[iJib]

There indoor slopes all over i work at one.

 

[S2daJ]

^ how does it compare?

 

[iJib]

compare to what?

 

[bucknasty]

haha im sure it stops and also the only bad part is that you cant get a park up in that

 

[S2daJ]

to skiing on a mountain??/

 

[Afen]

nasty

 

[iRide1080s]

How do you get off? haha

 

[iJib]

haha its gash mate, 150 m long pretty boring, but it gets me through the summer and gets me money, the freestyle nights sometimes can have some sick jibs sooo at least i get to ride all summer then go to a mountain in winter.

 

[S2daJ]

yah thats the good thing, summer riding. i wish we had some in america, prefferably down the street.

 

[iJib]

i think snow-flew (plastic stuff) is starting to happen in america, and jesus if you can ride that stuff you can rip anything.

 

[invader7]

if it had a park that would be sweet

 

[spen-cer]

jeez wat if u stop, ud be dead

 

[who_cares]

that's the kind of thing u do just to say u did.

 

[-+Siver+-]

yeah i heard about that it sounds cool

 

[1440ski]

Man that looks awesome they need one in the US

 

[SkiingNinja]

exactly what i was thinking

 

[90iwish]

WTF stationary slopes for beginners...wtf is the point of that

 

[skiierman]

Wow, that sounds so out there, like in a sci-fi novel or something... imagine skiing switch for 1 hour, you'd be God.

 

[freestyle_kyle]

ummmm so far all the other hills in the world are stationary. mountains dont move buddy. its so when they fall they dont go into an artificial mountain range

 

[skitoggrob]

kinda a weird site

 

[ItsPhil]

ahah its like a skiing treadmill

 

[potatofarmer]

yeaaaaaa. I saw that on the Discovery channel, looked sick

 

[jKutcher]

that is sooo wierd

 

[milkdud951]

imagine these popping up all over n specializing into big mountain, park, groomers, etc... "mountains" THAT would be sweet

 

[flat9safety]

haha thats crazy

 

[SteezePatrol]

you're trying to get banned aren;t you

 

[evtic]

progression for sure, kinda wierd idea, great post.

 

[snocompton]

that things gonna be rotating REALLY fast for it to be a never ending run.

 

[skiierman]

I'm guessing they're hoping people will speed check or something.

 

[BusyJohnSohn]

if you dropped something, you could just wait till it comes back around

 

[squibble]

holy fuck. skiing for unlimited amounts of time. they must have lifts for the park tho. the dubai one is probably better, but only if it has continual skiing

 

[j-d-s]

That looks so dope. The one you talk about in Dubai isnt as good as it looks. You pay heaps to get in and the lift takes something like 6 or so minutes to get up the 400 meter slope. Bit of a waste of money.

 

[lowtech]

wow a never ending run. i wonder if they could somehow make a never ending park

 

[iJib]

i reckon they could, but how would lots of people ride it at once, i think i really need to be on one of those things with a aprk to see how it would turn out.

 

[chapz]

that is sweet

 

[powderdream]

i read abought this like a year ago in popular sic.

 

[Luc.]

i can see the founders being like 25 years old...having like 20,000...or it being like a super rich corporation capatalizing on the loacl market place for an indoor ski-resort...either way im not sure if it is going to fly or not...

 

[TMswitch06]

that would never work, how would you be able to accomodate everyones comfort zone with the speed of the mountain

 

[wolfmansbro]

there was an article in popular science about a year or two ago

 

[Min_Soo]

thats so dope

 

[Schwags]

whats next kayaking in fake water?

 

[Dan.]

they have kayak parks with escalator type things that take you from the bottom to the top

 

[billy092]

US should get one

or 100
