First Appearance
Details
Following the Dark Phoenix Saga, X-Force found themselves regrouping and in need of a new cover in a much less mutant-friendly world. Emma Frost arranged for the funding of a new think tank, under which the team could hide their existence.
The Snow Valley Research Center is a multi-disciplinary group with a politically neutral stance on the 'mutant problem'. The material released by the Center is generated off-site, by a small team working in Frost Enterprises. Because of the specialized nature of the think tank, and their lack of political orientation, it remains largely ignored by both the media and the political establishment.
Until 2021, the offices occupied the entire top floor of a ten story building near the Avenue of the Americas, just north of NYU in Manhattan.
In December 2021, Snow Valley relocated to a building in District X. The building had originally been targeted for a gentifying condo development, so Emma bought it and had it renovated to make it fit the team. The ground floor is a bodega and deli shop, while the top two floors act as office space for the team. There are a couple of guest suites, and several rooms in the back of the top floor were commandeered by Topaz for the relocation of magical items from Avalon. The basement has access doors into NYC's underground and the Morlock Tunnels.
