First, basic details – our terrain parks have not only been dismantled and moved, but they've more than doubled in size. Located on both South and Bear peaks, we're creating the largest park in the east. Some of the others are close, but we're going to be the biggest (and funnest), hands down.
Next, details of the basic details – more than double the size means more than 60 acres of ridable terrain, showcasing all sorts of features – snow, plastic, metal, wood – ranging from basic ride-on boxes and rails to huge jump lines and crazy circus loop-de-loop rails…ok, maybe not that one, but there'll be more fun than you can shake a stick at.
Now if this isn't enough for you, check it out – all this is serviced by two dedicated high-speed quads,. Concerned that all those people are gonna rut out landings and destroy lips? Don't be – our park staff has been doubled to a 36 member army.
The most important part of the South project (besides having fun, of course) is making sure that everyone stays safe. In order for this to happen, everyone, from all you grizzled old-school shredders to the brand new up-an-comers, needs to participate in the Park Pass Program. This year, you'll have to sit through a short video before you can get your pass. It's free, it's informative, and it's good info to know. So use your head, know the rules, and show some respect – it's gonna be a long, fun season.
After a long hard day of destroying it, you need some relaxation and tasty food, right? Right. So we're redesigning the South lodge to make it a little more your style. Some new, bigger retail with a ton of stuff, a shop with basic necessity items (straps, screws, ladders, etc), cool tunes, some rad artwork…and don't worry about your deck or skis getting swiped while you enjoy a chili breadbowl – we're offering a free board check for everyone.
Plus we'll hold all our park-specific events at South this season, while things like the Burton SuperDemo and Pond Skimming will remain at Vernon.
See you out there December 15th!
