Posted Wednesday 17th October 2001, 8:55 pm by Dunx
Snow Creation Inc. (SCI) is bringing year round snowboarding to the desert. SCI has identified Las Vegas, as the first city in the United States to have one of its SnowFX indoor snowboard and ski parks. The SnowFX park is a 200,000 sq. ft. indoor snow facility that pairs radical slope terrain design with patented SNOVA technology.

Existing Japanese SlopeSCI has secured the exclusive rights to utilize, market, and sell the patented technology and products of Tokyo based SNOVA in the Americas. SNOVA is the leading developer of indoor snow facilities worldwide. These facilities utilize SNOVA’s patented Polymer Artificial Snow (PAS). PAS emulates powder snow in texture, color, and glidability. It even crunches like snow when you walk on it. SNOVA has developed ten indoor snow facilities in Japan and holds many patents worldwide. SNOVA is a public company and trades on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Existing Japanese SlopeThe Las Vegas SnowFX park will be one of the largest indoor snow facilities in the world, having a slope over 1,000 feet long. The facility contains numerous extreme terrain features, many of which are designed to international competitive specification. The slope boasts an Olympic specification super half pipe, competition specified slalom course, vertical/air park, and one of the most extreme snow board parks around. Boarders will challenge themselves with quarter pipes, rails of all heights, tables, moguls, and our custom designed skiable lift towers. In addition to the amazing slope action, the facility boasts a state of the art interactive restaurant amusement experience.


Mark and SlipLas Vegas based SCI was founded by Mark Vlassopulos, a globally experienced leisure developer and Slip Rueben who hails from the world of sports arenas and large scale facility operation. SCI is close to securing its first flagship location in Las Vegas. Vlassopulos states that “our combination of a focused development approach, technology and operational expertise allows us to deliver a world class facility, a powerful community leisure experience – and make a healthy profit!”

Slip Rueben comments that “SCI has conceived the SnowFX park to offer all this for the same price as a typical movie ticket – this is a facility for locals first, and tourists as a very welcome incremental market”.
