If you ski alta we need as many people as possible to email alta and tell them that they should put u a park  because like last season the might only set up 2 boxes and 2 rails


even though alta isnt know for park i have a season pass there and on those few days when im not  skiing pow there isnt that much to do except groomers and build so i want to ski park with my season and i nedd help getting alta to put a decent one up

hahahaha...did you just say snowbird had a decent park?
not this year, they are doing away with it except for a few small features next to there pipe
and alta is not known for a park, so go find some tree jibs or bonks or something..just get creative.

I thought the park was being removed... like the Baby Thunder park or whatever it's called.

And, Alta isn't really supposed to be a park resort. You say you wanna ski park this season... why not buy a PC pass?

In the brochure they sent out it said they were sticking to there super pipe and small jibs and small jumps next to it

and hand digging a pipe would suck balls.

seeing as the future is taking the park shit into the backcountry, what do you care if there is a park at alta.  just build something and get creative.

that's why i'm gettin a pass to alta and to park city. sucks at the beginning of the season when you have to pay for it, but will be well worth it when you can ski whatever kind of terrain you feel like.

i  imagine they will but the jibs up and that's really all you need. there is fun bonus hits everywhere, makes park riding feel quite dull in comparison.  snowbird's park is a shitshow. hit up the traverse gaps, so fun.

its not like we are asking for a park
but they have jibs and rails and they just sit there
when there was jibs up we would lap some natural hits to get to the jibs then do it all over
why would we pay 70 bucks to go to pc when we dont have to

To get a park, Alta needs to allow snowboarding. What is up with that, these holdouts like MRG, Taos, Deer Valley, and Alta?

Anything that helps me keep my sanity on the traverses is fine with me.

Plus there's always the bird to rip around with your snowboarder friends.

I think next to base-lodge conditions, and shuttle parking, a terrain park would be what I care about least as a skier of Alta.

i love all these people who dont ride alta everyday or almost everyday talking like they have any clue what its like in LCC on a day to day basis. "oh you odnt need a park, blah blah blah" i think its clear to anyone who rides at least 3-4 times a week that a park would be a nice addition.

Without snowboarding, Alta has no incentive to create a park. it would be a waste of their money and resources.

There are not enough customers who would use it to make it worthwhile for them financially.

ah hah! yes you could.

and the park at alta would suck anyway so i don't know why you'd bother petitioning for one.

Good, I agree completely. But, I don't think all the petitioning in the world will open up Alta to snowboarding. But this argument is so played out, wasn't this an issue in the mid-90's? And somehow, I don't think allowing snowboarding 'ruined' anyone's experience in the long run.
