How to start a DIY park??

do you have a pickup? if so maybe try moving snow from the 2nd place to the first place because it doesnt matter if the snow is better if your setup is demolished.

Nah I wish I did, I got a trailer tho

@Jems ?

Dry snow is pretty good. Like that artificial stuff. But it’s not really the same as real snow so it’s better in the summer

He’s talking about making one like on land not at his house, this dude is from a better side of the country where they can ski street and get snow in their backyard

if you can load up that trailer with snow and bring it then i would bring it to the park thats closed and build there, you have any pics of these spots?

yea fr, I got a lotta homies with home setups but I'm just looking for DIY space that'll offer a bit more creativity than my lame ass local

befriend the local park builders, ask them to do some more creative shit, or ask if you can work for them

Yes tru, most of my homies are park crew but the management hates anything that isnt a ride on lip, so playing shadow government only gets me so far

lmfaooo this is epic

Building your own stuff is hard work but super rewarding! I did it for years on a local golf course back in the day, they were chill with it as long as we packed everything up in the spring.

For actually deciding on the location I'd say picking the best terrain (the right slope that's not too steep, ideally with a few dips or hills that will help create natural lips and landings) is king. A secluded 'if you know you know' area is also ideal so you don't have to deal with kids playing on your features, randos modifying your features and stealing pipes, the city coming in and razing your builds since it's a 'liability' etc.

real talk I just emailed my parks and rec department about possibly using a portion of a tow rope sledding hill for a lil railyard so maybe we will get cooking next season

It takes a ton of work and needs to be a community effort. Get the word around locally and people will be down to help you. The real key to making it a real lasting thing is befriending the right older people. You'll meet a lot of new friends by doing this which is by far one of my favorite results of my work with Zero Zone.

I def got some local connections, one dude I talk to at the coffee shop a lot is the head of tourism/marketing for my town so gonna organize a chat with him about stuff

really excited to see where this ball rolls. this local hill has really been struggling the past few years, and a guy I know from local parks&rec says that on a good year they break even.. so maybe this would be the bump they need to get things rolling again.

WAIT this actually might be coming together in the next couple seasons!!!!!! In a way more legal safe and for the people way!!

.... talking to some local folks and getting a lot of good feedback about getting something started at an old tubing hill in my town with a handle tow that runs like a few times a season, there's a MTB park on the property also, and some XC ski trails plus snowmaking capability so its definitely a spot thats prime for purpose. Head of tourism in my town I chat with at the coffee shop sometimes loves the idea of bringing some more life to that spot, and a lot of the folks who put the MTB park together there also love the idea.

pretty much comes down to what parks and rec says, tourism guy is going to try to get me in a meeting with them soon:0

vision is basically I wanna bring freeski to the non-richkid population in my town, create a space for skiers to learn and grow without the insanely high cost barrier to entry of a major resort

I did create an instagram page to promote, I'm working on the plans and writing up a vision statement now to post on there, but thats all in the works and the page will be more active very soon

check out @urbanaccesswi for more updates as I get plans rolled out:)))
