Replying to Breaking down Killington's new terrain park setups
So, if you haven't heard the news, POWDR Resorts is again expanding their horizons with Woodward. With this, Killington's whole park division got a huge facelift. I wanna help break this down to kill off any confusion. All this info was obtained from Killington Parks via Instagram, so don’t quote me on anything, cause this is all we know thus far. Btw I'm not affiliated with Killy at all, I just love the mountain a lot.
Most notably, all the rails will be re-painted yellow and black, instead of the classic green we know and love. :(
The Parks:
Prog. Parks- There's a few freshly added newb progression parks, more family orientated than last year. Easy Street got a facelift as well, with an easier version.
Peace Park- Unlike last season, The Peace Park will now be located where Timberline and Astroland are on Ramshead, instead of Dream Maker.
Dream Maker- This season, we will have the traditional setup for Dream Maker (the biggest terrain offered), but will still feature an 18' modified halfpipe. Expect a pipe similar to last seasons 18 footer.
"Pop-Up Parks"- Just codename for the good 'ole Rime and Reason early season rail gardens, and the early season Mouse Run park.
The Stash & Lil' Stash- Unchanged besides the usual shuffle of features throughout this park; traditional setup.
Red's Backyard Rail Garden- New park. A hike style park, located at the base of Ramshead, this park will pretty much let you practice and progress "at your own pace" and we can expect a much more laid back vibe here with small and medium features. I'd expect to see something like the Dark Park, but I could be wrong.
I'm super hype for this new change, especially the hike park. Killington needed one of those for a while now. Bummed about the idea of another aspect of the mountain being taken over by another company, Even though they're already owned by a franchise.They still had a local mountain feel to them. I hope this doesn't take away from the park crew's ingenuity and ideas too much, and that they still have a voice of reason. Hope this doesn't change that too much. What do you guys think of this shit? Lmk if I missed anything.
