Wow your dry slopes are really big. In my country we have an dry slope hill from 30 meters because everything is flat and we only have around 10 days of snow in an year

[@thehouse]

Crazy! Where are you from? What's the dry slope hill called that you ride?!

[@take5DD]

I live across from this hill. I flew my drone over it the day they put it in, which was back in 2017-18. I can tell you that NOBODY has used it since. It has grass and weeds growing through it during the summer.

[@thehouse]

Rumor is they have something in the works. We'll see i guess.

[@sinisterxburn]

is it still like that? Have they shut down?

[@take5DD]

@@sinisterxburn whatever is left, you cannot see. It's over grown by grass and weeds. It was worthless. Nobody used it. People don't pay to snow board in the summer.

[@sinisterxburn]

@@take5DD wow, that's pretty sad to hear. i thought it was a good idea. Then again i live in a place where there is no snow. Thank you for responding btw.

[@chuckruffing6283]

@@take5DD It works great to extend the season in the lower midwest like Missouri and Illinois.

[@matthew-oe2ur]

Yea sota! Minnetonka represent!

[@thehouse]

Boom!

[@greensphinx]

I live not 2 miles away from this place

[@yeetyeet4445]

awesome vid. But would I need to use a special ski wax and if I didn't wax at all how badly would I ruin my bases?

[@thehouse]

No need to wax, the surface has an integrated lubrication system.

[@bk-dj5dq]

Great edit 👍👍

[@thehouse]

Thanks for watching!

[@ugenedc]

Hi guys. Would it be at all possible to have permission to use some of this footage for a fundraising campaign?

[@thehouse]

Send us a DM with details.

[@brandenpalarz905]

its the same as msnow which has been around for years. (recycled traffic cones)

[@thehouse]

Yep!

[@SalamiS4m]

Do you have to remove the pads when the snow comes because of the groomer, or does it stay down and you just remove the rails and jumps?

[@thehouse]

I'm sure the pads are removed.

[@chuckruffing6283]

Nope

[@mikebrown3996]

Can anybody go there, how much, when's it open

[@thehouse]

Yep! It's around $20 per session and only open in the summer.

[@greensphinx]

The House Outdoor Gear well, buck hill is open year round, but the neveplast is exposed in the summer.

[@adelyngage4244]

Mike Brown I live a few mins from buck hill and ski there every day during the winter but the dry in is open during the summer and yes you can go there but no one does

[@sinisterxburn]

@@adelyngage4244 is it still empty to this day?

[@danielmendoza7521]

what's falling like? and hows is the speed compared to snow?

[@thehouse]

It feels just as fast as snow. As for falling, it hurts way more.

[@TheSleepyDwarf24]

What's the material used for that

[@thehouse]

It's called Neveplast! It's a plastic compound that is pretty tough but allows your board to slide on it!

[@Baldingbry]

Where is this magical place?

[@motorxtp199]

burnsville minnesota

[@thehouse]

Buck Hill in Burnsville, MN. It's awesome.

[@matthew-oe2ur]

Sota!

[@sabot4030]

Is this the only terrain park there?

[@thehouse]

In the summer, yes. In the winter Buck Hill has 3 parks, 1 halfpipe, and 1 bigger double jump line.

[@ЛыжныйКурортПерезагрузка]

Super ski resort

[@thehouse]

Year round shredding!!!

[@jakobkreft7797]

Why green?

[@thehouse]

No idea.

[@ionymous6733]

Because few people will complain if the hillside is green in non-winter months. What other color would that be true for? At a glance it a healthy grass hillside.

[@chriswithee9408]

I dont know... Maybe so dirt doesnt show

[@slicerxr2860]

Probably so you can ride without goggles and not burn your retinas

[@Benzknees]

Planning laws

[@lindsaypresley2231]

this doesn't ruin your equipment?

[@thehouse]

There's a little wear on the base.

[@elirosenberg4635]

It does you just use old equipment

[@Benzknees]

Yeah, the surface is much more abrasive than snow, altho’ it’s often watered to reduce this problem. It will cause base burn unless you re-wax the bases very regularly with hard ski wax. Racers on dry slopes add a special hardening powder to their wax to increase abrasion resistance. Also it can burn/remove your skin if you fall with uncovered arms, and break your thumb if it gets caught in the gaps. Apart from that it’s great!

[@sareenafinner5069]

Did the nevplast do anything to your board?

[@thehouse]

Sintered base boards are effected much less than extruded. Buck Hill had custom boards built for the Neveplast!

[@sareenafinner5069]

I have a Roxy Banana Smoothie 2016, do you happen to know if that is a sintered base?

[@francolucarelli6643]

How long is?

[@thehouse]

It's top to bottom, 309 vertical feet worth.

[@jakebreedlove9619]

Do they still have this?

[@thehouse]

They do not 😔

[@jakebreedlove9619]

@@thehouse oh darn :( Any idea why they got rid of it; any similar facilities in MN?

[@thehouse]

@@jakebreedlove9619 I don't think so, not that we are aware of at least. 😞

[@juliezaremskiy3635]

Why green of all colors?

[@thehouse]

No clue. Maybe to match the color of the grass?

[@luvbuglovejoy6647]

Where is that place

[@thehouse]

Buck Hill is located in Burnsville, Minnesota!

[@bigmike3189]

Can someone make a half pipe out of this stuff

[@thehouse]

That would be insane!!!
