Hmm, if this thing is ready by fall, any chance LU will ever field a skiing team?

I'm actually more intrigued by the idea now than I was when it was first discussed. I don;'t want to see it from the campus but it'd be great to have to close by.

ok, time for comments. guru ticked me off, so I gotta respond

Don't let the "locals" on those sites get to you JDUB. I'm convinced there are two or three people who posts with multiple names on the N&A site (and sometimes even pretend to be LU and TRBC members).

I know people wonder what's going on here, but for all the complaints about there being "nothing to do around here", it shouldn't be a huge mystery as to what they're thinking.

JDUB, pretty funny comment on the page. (Assuming it was you)

Yeah, I now forbid myself from reading the N&A letterstotheeditor. Haven't been there in a couple months, and it has dramatically reduced my levels of rage and violent outbursts, not to mention acts of random violence.

For those who are interested, here's a promo video for SnowFlex:

I loved the U-Tube video, but my question is, if this is such a great surface, why has no other place in America tried this before us?

Beats me. It was introduced in '96, according to everyone's favorite source.

I sure thought Dollywood would have something like this before us, or Six Flags, Busch Gardens, or Disneyworld.

PS, I bet the Lynchburg General ER is drooling at the thought of this.

And our nursing program.

Yeah, there's no real snow anywhere in France.
