Dry slope
Burnsville · Minnesota · USA
America’s premier full-scale Neveplast year-round ski mountain in Burnsville, featuring a 350m slope, quad chairlift, and summer race training.
Famed for producing world-class ski talent like Lindsey Vonn, this Minnesota ski hill made history by blanketing its main 350-metre face with Italian Neveplast composite matting. The installation allows USSA junior race teams and local enthusiasts to run gated slalom courses and carve high-angle turns from spring right through autumn. A high-speed quad chairlift keeps lap turnover rapid on the summer slopes.
