It snows in texas? /boggle

Wow, that's awesome, snowboard all year!!! I never knew they made a material like that. That's pretty unbelievable that it has the same feel as packed snow, and won't wear down a board any faster than normal snow riding. With the crappy winter weather this year, we need one of those complexes up this way too!
