Futuristic Neveplast ski slope on the top of Copenhill 

My thought exactly, but I'd call it brostep. Still have big respect for the dubstep OG's.

Europeans go hard for electronic music [rip Daft Punk]

Appreciate it tho

LOL it's very ski video sounding though

Bmpfff Bmpffff wubb wub wub wub Zew zew zew zew zew DO DO DO DO!! Caught me way off guard lol. Found it pretty hilarious.

But it's unique that way

I think that was deliberate to draw more attention to it by being green. Obviously these people testing it, are expert skiers, I seriously doubt someone who never skied before, can learn good enough on this artificial snow slope, to then be able to smoothly transition to skiing on real snow. There are many types of snow (powder, wet snow), ice and other factors when skiing on real snow slopes. It reminds me of learning how to hit a golf ball on a driving range. I thought I was pretty good because I could hit the golf ball well at the range. But then out of the golf course I was terrible, it was a differrent experience with uneven terrain, hitting out of the rough, etc.

@@d3v-x64 "Unique" ... It's the same material they use everywhere. I saw it 10 years ago at a practice ski jumping hill.

It's probably easier to see the contours on it in flat light through a set of goggles with it being green rather than white.

@@jansa940 it helps, you learn the movements of skiing. Snow is a lot more slippery, so a beginner ski slope is a lot less steep and will have a different feel, but it still helps. Learning on artificial snow will reduce hours or days of flailing around as a beginner.

I was wondering why people were bundling up because it's not snow, but now I'm enlightened

@@mashuu_ Probably cold as well

It's not like hard packed snow is easy on your behind or elbows when you crash. That said the problem with this surface is that the heat kind of damages your skis, or it used to be so. Many resorts, and they have them in America too (Buck Hill, Minnesota), have an irrigation system that cools off your equipment and have installed chairlifts instead of using rope tow.

When the snow slope is iced it also gonna hurt when you fall but still people ski on that, and let's not talk about skating on ice or concrete.

soccer players can relate

Wouldn't you also if you had his abilities and passion for the sport? Who wouldn't want to travel the world all expenses paid, while getting paid, to do what they love the most in life.

Jesper Tjäder is just the go-to public persona for skiing especially since he is so big on youtube

@@MickiRae Stop drooling

@@Fara_Bale You must think I'm a Tjader fan boy... yet I dont even care much for skiing. I was just stating hes good, and gets paid as he deserves everywhere for it. If you meant envious of someone having their dream job/profession... hell yeah I'm drooling for something similar in life.

Not just you, dude is everywhere lmao

Because its in denmark

At least you have a public resort. Imagine living in a country without any mountains.

@@lightmind20 Yet, Finland gets snow.

@@alvintillebeck9384 This is such a dumb comment tbh. It was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), an architectural firm. As always, with big projects like this, a final product is a combination of involvements from city/town planners, urban designers, architects, urbanists, engineers, as well as building firms. There is a lot of contractors in place. Negotiations, often lead and facilitated by a planning firm, also involve local government and/or city planning department members. The final product is a fruit of work of all those parties and to act like architects don't play a role in it is at least ignorant.

Because it doesn't have to be built on a fucking mountain but one of the flattest countries on the planet with plenty of space because 12 people live there?

Literally same

mine \just hurts

They need to get it manufactured as white and grey. This is brilliant!!!

Me as an Austrian where skiing is part of our culture, get nearly a mental breakdown from only looking at this green futuristic powerplant pist.

@@d3v-x64 i live in Switzerland, stfu it's amazing people in Africa could use this and learn to ski, just think, be part of the solution not the problem, it's your choice.

We didn't have eyes. We never did. This man is one of the only people to possess them.

Not carving bro, just pretty slides, it’s basically impossible to carve on this shit. Not to mention covering places in miles of this plastic is not gonna exactly help the climate crisis which is directly effecting the viability of snow sports and the snow professionalism.

​@@matt014908 If it could be done with recycled plastic it would at least help out the ocean problem.

@@matt014908 I don't know what you're looking at but the telemark guy was on edge and carving. The guy before him looks like he was intentionally sliding on flats to stay in frame for the camera guy.

@@matt014908 'covering places in miles of this plastic is not gonna exactly help the climate crisis' Funny considering that pretty much every ski resort uses snow cannons and that is far from being good for the environment. Skiing, no matter how it's done obviously isn't good for the environment. Waste of water, energy, polluting the areas, destroying eco systems, noise, etc.,..

Only my left ear heard about this

I'd say snow is cheaper to make. Imagine the wear and tear on this turf.

It only has one run.

I have been skiing on this since I was a little kid, 22 years ago. This is nothing new for me. Very cool concept though on that gigantic roof, very nice long slope.

@@Billy-wb2op how long does one whole ride take?

Man that would be insane

Man that would be expensive

Man that would be sick

Man that would be potato

Woman.

hopefully not

What? You clearly don’t ski.

man, here in Prague we had artificial skislope all year long 40 years ago but they scrapped it...

@@ryanwilliams560 I’m not so sure he’s that far off. Out here in CA, the ski season is getting shorter every year and the cost to make snow is driving up ticket cost. This material will only improve over time..... The installation cost would be crazy high

@@williammyers269 CA ski season? He´s troll for anyone who didn´t notice.. I mean he´s got 2 thumbs up so maybe appropriate to make a post.

💀💀

Just like skiing in fresh mountain air too -literally skiing through powerplant exhaust fume clouds.

Ian, just maybe you aren't a skier. Color is utterly insignificant.

M.Sorrenti that seems to be steam not smoke.

They meant feel not looks.

Exactly the possible issues I was wondering about - running skis and not great when you fall. Plus the super short and boring runs. Thanks for confirming the problems with your first hand experience.

Yep, you need to change the gears if you want to have some safety there - like street skate knee pads, elbow pads, gloves with wrist protection… this kind of stuff meant to fall over concrete.

Imagine the microplastic particles your edges are shaving off the fibers every time you turn.

@@archstanton_live that was my thought, too. microplastics that run off in the rain, end up in waterways, and harm wildlife already happens with car tires, but i've heard these kinds of "turf" products are even worse

Dont, its really bad, only 3 years and already worn out😢

There is a Monte Kaolino in Bavaria, where you can ski down a sand slope, but it has a different feeling (brakes much more than snow). In some alpine skiing locations in the summer you can also ride on grass with rollerbladed skis. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ANXx4qx5hc.html

The steam coming out of those stacks is actually cleaner than the air around it

I doubt many birds are killed by flying in the vicinity unlike next to windmills. I doubt big whales are brought to extinction unlike in the waters where you have those idiot-flappety-mills.

​@@Someone-ig7we it's a green power plant

Man this is so true :D It's sad but I have to laugh. I'm from Slovakia and if somebody would want to do this in our country everybody would be just complaining that it is impossible.

italian company though

Artificial ski slopes have been with us since the 60's...

Next to? I’ve always dreamed of skiing on top of a factory.

thumbs up video, thumbs down this thread. well done mankind, looks awesome! love and peace my friends

Enjoy that fresh pow. My mtn got 20' in the last two days. The real stuff. We don't need to make snow on my mtn.

@@garyquack19 Go hug an artificial tree

Worse, it says "termovalorizzatore" that's where trash gets burned to generate energy

noone: he he he he ha ha ha ha ho ho ho ho that format of jokes is H I L A R I O U S

I mean u must’ve pretty good snow at home bc it was the most resending snow material they could find

I'm near Lynchburg and have been thinking about going for a while now. How is it and would you recommend it?

It’s at liberty university, it’s cool to try but u get bored easy , there’s nothing like fresh powder

@@btbrant I would, it’s worth checking out. When I was there you rode a T bar to the top which was a little tough if not familiar. You also will get a little wet and possible carpet burn so wear your gear even if warm. Still like I said it’s worth a look especially if your close.

how about flour powder

Of course Nothing compares to Power....

"skin" training....perfect freudian slip.

Shorts no, jeans yes

Next level rug burn. And those types of injuries get infected very easily.

So I assume you don't skate either.

Borders are just lines on a map

@@Katt1n You are right ... Every teacher tell it to the students at school!

My back yard be great

it ruins the skis

🧇

It hurts, wear your helmet .....

that's why it's colored green. So you don't see the blood.

@@rchn1315 Ahh yes, green. I, too, have green blood.

Like gratded cheese.

shut up, meg

lol

Why would there be a future without snow? You're not one of those environmental nuts who believe in that "global warming" BS, are you?

"Sad because a future without snow to me is really depressing" Yeah we only have 10 years to save the planet... -1989

​@@gooble69they werent wrong... permanently frozen geound in Russia is becoming mud at the moment... And it's releasing millions of tony of CO2. I Hope you livefor another 50-60 years. That should be enough to realise how fucked we really are

lol, you climate alarmists are hilarious. We’ve had record snow fall the past few seasons in the Rocky Mountains. Please stay home if you’re so scared of carbon footprint. More mountain for me to enjoy without you woke losers taking up space

@@gooble69 Saying that climate change is not happening when you look at things like the warming stripes just any global average temp curve or you know. Ask all the small ski resorts in the lower alps why they permanentlyx shot down or ask the bigger ones why they have to use snow cannons for the entire season is denying observeble reality at this point.

Nobody cares that you tele (jk I care. I tele too)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it! I tele too....badly

Yes pinkies up. We are just more cultured and refined. What can I say.

Telemark is real skiing.

@@TheZaratustra1989 yes, but actually no

Im scared about those edges. Just looks like a solid fence to stop you. Though to be fair on a ski slope a tree isnt much better

"it"

"ib"

my guess is, that some of the pros there may have sponsors like burton that back them up and so they are obligated to ski with their clothes. or maybe it because of protection, cuz this stuff is going to hurt quite a lot if u should fall

Was probably cold enough. But then again if you were to fall on it with exposed skin, it might burn you pretty bad...

@@yannickfillon3851 i think even if you fell on ur normal, casual clothes it would burn pretty hard

Exactly. When i was in Sierra Nevada in Spain, we all skied in Beachwear

Idk what there is to doubt, but I mean it's not gonna be exactly like snow for obvious reasons. You're not gonna have those small bumps and grooves that form from snow being pushed around as skiers and snowboarders turn, so chances are it's gonna feel smoother. There might be a slight difference in friction between a board's base and the material they use, but overall, it looks really great and potentially promising

@@brazilianambassadordale8223 for sure, I just had big doubts about how they presented it in video (saying it was really close to snow which I don't really believe it is), but hey, looks very cool regardless.

It needs resurfacing every year depending on how much it gets used obviously. But they lubricate the slope with silicon so it doesn't have that much friction. The ski's get very warm and the wax will melt away, but with wax you have to much friction anyways. Though they don't wear much from it, you only need to apply wax if you want to ski on snow again.

Both of course thousands of ski and snowboards run over it wears it out... Artificial slopes, have to be relayed regularly if you use it a lot, DON'T use your best snow skis....

They should use special skis or special wax or something to not wear down skis.

As the Beach boys sung, "if everybody had an Ocean, across the USA"... You might not have an Ocean, however you can have a Ski Slope....

LMAO

Good thing that Amager Bakke is billed as one of the cleanest waste-to-energy plants in the world, thanks to technology that filters its emissions. xD

The steam coming out of those stacks is actually cleaner than the air around it

There is a place with similar snow in america and I skied without gloves and the bristle like material really hurts when you scrape yr hand on it😂

With all the snow gone due to global warming, this green ice would be the next big sport. Or it's skiing on Mars.

@@vipahman this was like the snowiest year in sweden since 2010 or something

I know right! You don’t see to many of us

that plant would have to burn a damn lot of bananas for that to happen :P

A completely flat country with entirely coastal climate to the south of Norway? The Danes are notoriously bad skiers in Scandinavia, except some that spend every vacation in the alps:)

Denmark doesn't share a border with Norway. Its only land border is with Germany, and the southern tip of Sweden is just over a quite long bridge.

@@erringman The border between the Danish and Norwegian EEZ runs along the Skagerrak, between Faroer and Norway in the North Sea and between Greenland and Norwegian Svalbard in the Arctic.

@@mgh62000 You are knowledgable about Scandinavia so that's all good. For those who don't know, the Skagerrak is a body of water, so DK and Norway share a maritime boundary and not a land border. It's a common misconception that Denmark is 'up there' with the other Nordic countries, while it is actually not geographically adjacent, it is down south next to Germany, and flat and muddy rather than mountainous or forested or fjorded or snowy, so it's that common misconception that I sought to correct. Saying they share a border is like saying China shares a border with Japan, France with the UK, or Australia with NZ - if you are comfortable with those ideas, then more power to you.

I've already tried it (not in Copenhagen, I don't know if it was the exact same surface or quality, but visually it was very similar) and the sensations are completely different compared to real snow.

@@WhiteSharkcsgo so its a scam? like can you enjoy it and be free of your movement, use the ski edges to turn etc...? like we see more or less on the video

@@damien8267 Its not a scam, it’s just harder/different. if you can ski with good technique on the bristles your snow skiing will be so flawless. Give it a shot!

Feels like wet snow of late season

@@damien8267 he was probably skiing on a different type of surface. They all look similar, but there can be big differences. I imagine if jesper tjader is skiing on it, it is pretty good.

It's probably just water vapor

the air coming out of that is cleaner than what comes out of a car xD

Yeah imagine skiing in summer to cool off

The feel, and how you ski. Not the color.

an elevator won't be able to serve as many people

@@cbr7170 That would depend on the design. One could design a multi-cab elevator with a "UP" segment and a "DOWN" segment that would work essentially like a gondola lift, but vertically. Just a thought.

@@andrewdiamond2697 Of course you could work around it, but I think a lift is a lot more practical. Cheaper, no waiting times etc etc.

There is 3 levels that you can drop off at different parts on the slope. A lift wouldn't be able to fix that :)

@@biketimist6943 Nevermind. I saw another video where they did have an elevator in addition to the rope-pull. And you are right, it's a segmented slope, with about 100m of vertical.

How do you know the temperature?

@@Liphzzy it’s not winter at least

@@ottorosenbaum2218 Not saying you're wrong, but again, did you do your research or just assume it? They have 2 snow days, just because there isn't snow doesn't mean that it's not winter. I did the research, the opening was on the 2nd of October, which again, isn't technically winter, but it's usually cold at this time of the year in Copenhagen, so it makes perfect sense for them to wear thick clothes.

It’s because if you fall it hurts extremely bad.

That’s a good question. Honestly I would be wearing a jacket just in case I fall, that turf burn would hurt so bad on bare skin

In denmark it is still very cold even if there is No snow

@@dxtrsrdiyrdytfytdjjkl2111 even when it’s 30 degrees out you still get pretty hot skiing while your moving around so much

@@tylerlong3362 yeah i know i am skiing much

I would build a cover with solar panels over this and then use real snow.

The air/wind can make it uncomfortable and hard to see at high speeds.

Nothing odd in that

they're on a tall building in the middle of the city, you need goggles to prevent sunburn if nothing else
