For those of you who live for snowboarding, like I do, will be disappointed to hear that Skyloft will not be opening the dryslope this year. They we're ready to be up and running July 16th to start, then moved it back to August 9th and finally to September 6th. The reason for this is that they could not receive the permits necessary to run the hill with this new material. For those of you who don't know, a dryslope is a fake material that resembles carpet and allows you to snowboard any time of the year!! These dryslopes are most popular in Europe and the one at Skyloft was to be the first ever in North America. The sad thing is that by the time they get all the permits they need it will be snowing!! So let’s keep waiting for the cold and look forward to Summer Boarding '09!

What surface was Skyloft going to use? Was it Snowflex?
No it was a new type of material developped by skyloft themselves I believe.
