My guess would be some experience and a connection.

it all depends on the parks you're managing...
park shapers usually have no special requirements besides maybe experience...

park manager; especially in the bigger parks also get to deal with safety issues and design of huge jumps and pipes ....

so my guess is that park "managers" would require some sort of higher education besides just experience...

but hey, actually i don't know a thing about it.....

yikes, maybe one should get their own spelling down before the start to correct others.

Depends on where you are. Here in the Midwest you don't need to know anything.

I would recommend trying to get at least straight D's in all your classed if you want to get into that hard of a program.

But seriously, like 90% of the people in the ski industry don't have degrees. Who you know is much more important than what you know in this industry.

In the bigger parks you deffiently need lots of experience, prolly hydrolics for the snow-cats and maybe some sort of managing class. Ive been building jumps since i was 5 and it seems they hire ppl just looking for a job
