Has anyone else heard about the terrain park being built at Hawk Island?
I have been hearing rumors about this for awhile now, but I saw on their facebook page pictures of them building a new sledding hill + snowboarding complex. I was told by a MSU ski club member that they are planning to put in at least one tow rope and several features. Just wondering if anyone had more info on this?

I stopped over there after class, spoke with one of the guys moving dirt. Said they plan to have it open Dec 7. Also it looks pretty good sized. Do you know what kind of features Modern and Summit are working on?

I have been hearing a lot about this too lately. Im excited since there is nowhere else to go like it less than an hour away. I am also in SSC I would suggest anyone who hasn't joined you to do it! so much fun. Anyone going to Breckenridge?

Awesome.

The best we had when I was at State was to hike the Ranney Park hill by Frandor and jump over picnic tables.

Just heard about this today. This is the first time I've ever been excited to live in the Lansing area. This is gonna be so much better than paying 30 dollars and driving to Brighton.
