Buck Hill is under a new ownership with big expansion plans. The new owners want to add a dry slope for summer skiing, an indoor ski and snowboard training facility, mountain biking, and other new facilities. Exciting times in the twin cities. Stoked for whats to come.

stoked for the woodward style building but they better go for snowflex as a dryslope instead of that green m-snow crap. Snowflex might be a little slower but at least if won't rip your face open when you fall.

I've always thought if they got rid of that half pipe and made some nice large scale features on the same run, the park would be way more popular.

But then they could have a separate park for ski specific features. Clearly that is the future of the slopes.
