Look: It's Dry Slope Snowboarding Season
Dry slope season is here! Unless you are near one of the glaciers spread out amongst the globe or the Southern Hemisphere, snowboarding is over for the next few months. Jamie Nicholls enjoys a warm summer night at Snowtrax UK in Christchurch, England.

Plenty of users asked in the comments where this one was located, which is in England. But there are a few in U.S. as well! Dry slope snowboarding refers to the practice of snowboarding on artificial surfaces designed to mimic the texture and feel of snow. It allows snowboarders to train and enjoy the sport in regions or during seasons where natural snow is not available. Typically made of materials such as plastic or artificial bristles, which provide a similar sliding sensation to snow, these surfaces are often constructed on inclines or specially designed slopes, and they can be found in indoor or outdoor facilities, including snow domes, ski centers, or dedicated dry slope parks.
Snowboarders can use their regular snowboards on dry slopes, although some facilities may recommend using boards with a more durable base to withstand the abrasive nature of the surface. Additionally, riders might wear specific clothing, such as protective pads or specialized gloves, to minimize friction and improve their experience on the dry slope.
See! Don't give up hope! Just hop on a dry slope until the snow starts falling again!
