ive looked around but idk where to find it for sale.

If you need help PM LSzrab. He was really helpful in learning about mSnow. I'm pretty sure he's the inventor / rep because every thread about mSnow he is in. PM him for info, he responds super fast. I was thinking about some for my setup but I don't have the money for it this year.

Hey, Yeah my brother and I have been working on inventing mSnow for a long time now and have only been making the production version for a couple of weeks! Here's the deal. Right now, the price is $6.95 per square foot. The stuff works awesome. We know because we learned inverted aerials at Park City and have spent a lot of time on many dry slopes. We made mSnow specifically for ramps and dropins. It is the best product in the world for this purpose.

We are in the process of designing a new website, so don't worry about the $9 per sf price, that is what our prototype used to cost. Now we have the current version:

[IMG]freeskier.com/cache/photo_24465_630x-1_0.jpg[/IMG]

Windells put it on their rail line and they are currently installing it on their campus bag jumps. Next week, Ohio Dreams is installing it on their water ramps. Adam and I are putting it on our portable jump this week for a jumping show in Northern Michigan next weekend! I will post pictures are stories whenever new stuff happens!

Shoot any questions you have my way and I will answer them as soon as I can!

BTW- Now that Session 1 is done at Windells, anyone out there who has ridden mSnow should reply with their opinion on how fast it is, how it carves, and how well it worked for spinning off.

Best thing everyone can do for getting mSnow is to start talking about it and asking for it at their local shop. If your shop contacts us and gets a bulk shipment, the final cost to you might be a lot cheaper.

One more thing...we are going to be giving 200 square feet away as the top prize in an online video contest this summer. Details TBD.

Peace!

Y'all need to check this out.  Luke and Adam have been working their butts off to create a Dry Slope product specifically for us; not for racing or sledding or something else.  Two of the pioneers of new school are creating a product that will give the best possible performance for jibbing and jumping.  What's super important to me is that you can actually carve on MSnow.  That opens up the possibilities for just about anything.

how are they any different than the meanies that have been used for years on waterramps?

Biggest difference between mSnow and meanies is that mSnow has a more uniform bristle density with a tighter pattern. This creates a closer to snow experience. One other benefit to the tighter pattern is that there is less chance of banging a knee or finger into the large openings in case of a wipeout or a hand drag.

Word! mSnow is sick stuff. As Luke said, we are going to be using mSnow on our water ramps and on our new summer rail and box setup. It should make for a really sick summer.

I have heard that it hurts a lot to fall on, specifically in the Windells rail line, where you would fall a lot more than on a bag jump. However, I have never actually tried it so please take that comment with a grain of salt, and also, I am interested in what others have to say on this.

So does this mean it isn't good for landings? And I'm not talking for a jib, I'm talking about a legit, full sized dry slope jump.

It would be horrible for a landing if you fall your pretty much fucked. It is super hard plastic and is spiky it slides very well and you can kind of carve but if you fall your gonna get cut up.

So the alternatives wouldn't do that, or not as much?

well i know that in minnesota in the summit boardshop "backyard" summer setup they have stuff called powderpak. it is like turf and they have 2 dif materials for drop in and landing. it still burns a tad but it definitely doesnt hurt as bad as this stuff looks for landing on. Im not trying to bash msnow as i have never used it but just letting you know of other options.

the only thing that sucks is that it trashed the bottom of your skis and boards. i was using it at windells and i had some pretty decent gouges from the m snow. now imagine if you fell on it. but hell its a great product
