Snowboarding and Skiing in Dallas, Texas? Hong Kong? France? No matter the season, or the temp, Snowflex makes it possible to snowboard and ski in seasons and locations where you normally wouldn't be able to.
Snowflex is an artificial snow surface that is kind of like a "snow carpet." Past artificial snow surfaces have a reputation of being painful to fall on. Snowflex, on the other hand, is soft and has a layer of cushion underneath it, making it a more rider friendly surface.
To make the Snowflex surface slippery, they use sprinklers with it to make it wet. The Snowflex surface is slick but yet it still has enough grip for edge control.
They have set up Snowflex snowboard, ski, and even snow tubing parks in the UK and Hong Kong. With the appeal of Snowboarding and Skiing year round in even hot climates, you can expect more Snowflex centers to open up in locations all over the world.

Like a boogie board, the Airboard is a body sled where the rider lays on their stomach and sleds down hills. The Airboard is bringing in the new snow sport of snow bodyboarding.
Being inflatable, the Airboard is made out of a durable (1 year warranty) nylon material and can be inflated in 3 minutes via the hand pump that comes with it. Depending on the model of Airboard, it weighs up to 7 lbs. The lightest model the Airboard comes in weighs 3.5 lbs.
The Airboard isn't just another snow sled. It is made to have fun with, and isn't only restricted to the usual sledding down hills.
To steer the Airboard, the rider shifts their body weight from side to side. The runners on the bottom of the Airboard help give a nice controllable ride.
Remember the Zorb? That big air cushioned ball that people can get inside and roll down hills in? Here's a clip of Jackie Chan in a older movie of his, "Operation Condor," showing how extreme he likes to Zorb.
Very much like snowboarding, but with some differences in the board, sandboarding opens a new possibility to those who want to turn a nearby sand dune into the equivalent of a snow covered hill to a snowboarder.
Here's a video from the 2007 world sandboarding championship.
The Freebord is quite possibly the closest simulator to the feel of snowboarding as it will ever get. If you want to feel like you are snowboarding on pavement, the design of the Freebord makes it a great board for snowboarders wanting to recreate the feel of snowboarding in the off season.
The Freebord has 6 wheels. 2 on the inside and 4 on the outside. The outside wheels act like the edge of a snowboard and let you control your speed. To slow down on the Freebord you carve just like you would on a snowboard. The outside wheels will help you turn and slow you down.
Stopping is just the same on a Freebord as on a snowboard. The outside wheels will act like the edge of a snowboard and slow you down to a stop just the same.
The center wheels on the Freebord allow you to drift sideways like on a snowboard down a hill. You can freely turn the board around and switch stances while bombing down a hill. The center wheels on the Freebord give you the same sliding feel that a snowboard does on snow.
Check out the video below of the Freebord in action...
What would happen if a skateboard and a mountainboard had a baby? It would come out something like this.
The Be Unlimited board by Beyond Boards is a unique cross between a mountainboard and a skateboard.
With four offroad wheels it can go on grass, dirt, pavement, wherever. Take it to a skatepark for a day, and then take it offroad, this board is versatile.
The set up of the Be Unilimited board makes it easy to grind on rails, trees, rocks,or whatever other kind of grinding capable surface you may find. Because the back foot is placed on the tail of the board, the Be Unlimited board rides more like a skateboard than a mountainboard.
The Be Unlimited board is great for freestylers, and it offers skateboarders an easier transition to off road boarding compared to a traditional mountainboard.
This thing is amazing. It can go on snow, sand, dirt, pretty much all types of terrain! There are tons of possibilities with this thing. The season for it could be all year! Imagine taking this thing out in the summer, boarding on dirt trails, and then when winter comes, imagine taking it out and tearing up the snow with it.
The Scarpar is still in development and isn't due for release for quite some time I think (seeing as I can't find an estimated release date for it).
But untill then, I'll be impatiently waiting for the release.
