Nov 21 2007Polymer Snow Debuts At Ski Resort In Texas!

First comments are awful

hey Gia, how does a DoS attack sound?

How the hell are you supposed to snowboard on that?
...And wouldn't it be unneccasarily warm without the actual snow?
And what do they do when it actually snows out there?

They took the fun out of it. D:

What do you wear on the hill?

huh?

Cool! But I really don't understand what's this...

I will give you all a first hand account as it is going up in Ft. Worth and is a 20 minute car trip for me. There is also a muti multi million dollar renovation going on with the river running through downtown (supposed to be better than San Antonio) so it is going to be really cool to hang out with me soon. Samuel L. Jackson level of cool.

Does it seem odd to anyone else to want to cover the earth in plastic?

So how does this stuff decompose?

soon we won't need nukes. if the idiots in the middle east keep feeding us these kinds of ideas, we'll eradicate the nation before iran ever gets the bomb.

this is the single stupidest thig that i've seen anyone do in my entire life. i'll never go to houston again. they're starting up a program to use drone aircraft for traffic violations and "covert tactical" operations in that city as well. that's one place to avoid my friends... avoid it at all cost. there is no "cool" in houston. only a bunch of oxygen starved morons.

new orleans? shit! before you know it, we'll be rescuing houston from themselves. could you imagine how nasty that plastic will be after all of god's creatures piss and shit all over that stuff? then you get to breathe it in, all the particles and germs on the surface of the plastic, breeding and spreading. there's been no testing for this stuff... how do we know it doesn't promote bacterial growth? this could be the starting point for the downfall of man. jESUS fuKcign HCrist!!! what the hell!!

it's texas... why do they even own skis?

prime exmple of the "immediate gratification" oriented society that we live in. everybody wants what they want, no matter where they are, or what the consequences are. f***ing unbelievable.

11: we own skis because we own Colorado and yes, Houston is a dump

they wears their birthday suit, that's enough!!! do you know No shoes, no clothes: no problem.? lol!

very weird but interesting

Sweet. I live right around the way from this. And you dumb f***ers (i.e. 11) Can eat that shit you just sprayed all over my screen. Houston is where the leftovers from Katrina wound up. Would you want to monitor that shit? I think so. As for the rest of Texas giving a shit about H-Town. Heh f*** um, they can drown. This is all part of us getting ready to host the SuperBowl.

Either way, this kicks ass. I cant wait for it to open.

As mentioned above, how do they clean this stuff? Otherwise this is kind of neat. In spite of global warming, my future children can still experience snow.

very interesting. Clebrity and rich people care this very much. They are discussing this on the forum of celebrities dating site Many people joined the discussion and debate there.

this f***ing plastic hurts a lot whe you fall

Pretty sweet tech here. I'd like to point out that this is a significant advancement over the current snow-less skiing. As I understand it the current method involves a covering a slope with a slick nylon sheet and a lot of small polyurethane triangles and discs. That tech has been around for over a decade, and it's already safer than actual snow (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,906181,00.html).

11. Get a life, commentard.

certainly didn't think they'd cry about it. that was thoroughly unexpected.

By the way, Snowflex is NOT a new technology. They have been using it for years here in the UK, most notably at Sheffield Ski Village (http://www.sheffieldskivillage.co.uk).

Here's a video of Snowflex in use there...
