Students at Liberty University, a Baptist Fundamental institution founded in 1971 by the televangelist Jerry Falwell, are not allowed to watch R-rated movies, drink alcohol or dance. But soon their campus in Lynchburg, Virginia will feature year-round Snowflex skiing and snowboarding slopes.

The first phase of the project, scheduled to be in place by next summer, includes a $500,000 ski lift and a Snowflex slope. At a total cost of $3 million, it is expected to be the most expensive part of the plan. Over the next few years, an additional $2 million will be spent on other features including downhill bike trails.

Financing through a local bank will pay for the project, but that admission fees charged to the public would eventually pay for the park’s construction costs.

The University hopes the new facilities will help in the effort to boost current student numbers from 10,400 students to a target 25,000 students.
