The Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center’s GRAND OPENING is just around the corner - August 29th!
This year the snowflex site will open up with three runs, two surface lifts, three kicker options, a cornice, a large 11 ft high quarter pipe, a kinked box, and a flat box. The resort will be open to the public and will push riders to rapidly excel at whatever level they are at with a separate low grade soft surface nursery slope with its own private lift; to a gently curving run for those who are beginning to develop their turns; and finally the large terrain park features with the largest landing ramp snowflex has ever built.
FREESTYLE PROGRESSION: The aspect that I am most excited (and newschool/younger generation of riders ) about is clearly the way that this resort is going to be able to influence freestyle progression. The most obvious aspect that comes to most enthusiasts’ minds is that riders will be able to train all year around and even into the night. But, after riding this surface and getting comfortable riders will soon realize this is one of the safest and fastest ways to progress on their freestyle maneuvers because of the consistency of the surface. Jumps will always have the right angle and pop, speed on the in-run will always be right, and landings will never get rutted out. Once a rider becomes comfortable with the feature they will always know what to expect and progression will only follow.
Earlier this month a few of the crew from Briton Engineering ( snowflex manufacturer) tested the kickers, and after just a few warm up hits they were already going for inverted tricks on the large kicker. Liberty is also allowing a freestyle ski and snowboard club through the USCSA! - more info will be coming from that later

Hey Travis - it could deffinetely happen… I wrote this article and have been up at the site many a time. Last week Joe Tyler (rider from the UK and designer at snowflex) and I were just commenting on how long it would be til we see someone attempt a double back or double cork.
If you really want to attempt it - Contact me and come out a few days before Grand Openning and we will get you set up!

O and Tanner Hall, wish you the best recovery… and would love to see you make it out to the event and hang with all of us as we open a new venue for training and progressing the sport in the US.

After you land the double cork you can give Jerry Falwell your testimonial. Have fun!

This Snowflex facility is one of the two deciding factors for why I chose Liberty as my pick for school. Can’t wait to start spinning 7’s in the summer.

Liberty University is a Christian Evangelical university founded in 1971 by the late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr.

DO IT

I would assume this is gonna be open to people other than alumni and students… a buddy of mine from lynchburg called me yesterday and was telling me about this. I would love to be able to come up from charlotte and ride. Can anyone confirm it being open to the public?

I had the ability (and acceptance letters) to go to schools like; Bryant, Syracuse, Ithaca. But they were a little to expensive (actually a lot a bit expensive). In addition Liberty is a strong Christian School, which is a major plus for me.

yes it opens to the public on August 29th though students and alumni will always have priority….I have heard up to $17 an hour?? Eric, you know what the prices are looking like? I have heard $17 an hour
July 16th, 2009 at 11:36 am
No - prices are dirt cheap for the first month!!! four bucks an hour during non peak times (12-4pm) and like 6-8 during peak hours.
AND YES IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
August 22nd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Absolutely open to the public! I believe the fee is around $6 per hour
