Share The Bounty Jam At Shanty Creek / Schuss – December 20, 2009

Robin Hood was a solid Land Pirate. He shared what he had to those in need. So, Shanty Creek Resort has decided to dip their toes into making the resort a Pirate Safe Harbor. It’s time to kick it off and show the suits at corp what an awesome idea that is….

Shanty Creek has decided to put on an impromptu Rail Jam this Sunday on the temporary rail park on Mellow Yellow run at Schuss Mountain. Best part of this is that you can dial in all weekend (Schuss open Friday night skiing this weekend) as the park is set up and rip ready.

Get this one, entry fee to the comp is a wrapped toy or a non-perishable food item for donation to local charities that Shanty will facilitate. (Lift ticket / seasons pass / helmet required to compete).

Sunday December 20, 2009

Treetops New Terrain Park

NEW Terrain Equipment by BoardSPORT New this season, Treetops is recreating the terrain park that will focus on safety, flow and beginner-Intermediate skill levels. Treetops will work with BOARDSPORT to incorporate features such as 20′ beginner and intermediate boxes of steel construction with plastic riding surfaces. Find out more about BOARDSPORT by clicking here.

Our terrain park will have 2 flat 10′ beginner rails as well as a 20′ intermediate round rail. There will be some challenging additions such as a beginner 16′ battle ship kinked rail as well as a 16′ intermediate rainbow rail. In addition, we will also be adding man-made and natural jib features such as barrels, and logs that can be used to slide or jump over or tap with skis or boards.

SnowboardingYour feedback is important to us! We would like you to let us know what you think of the new features or tell us what you would like to see. We will use this information to expand on our design, possibly incorporating an additional run for a new more advanced park in the future. Our goal this year and into the future is to provide a safe, fun and exciting area for snowboarders and skiers to test and expand their freestyle skills. We hope to give all of our park riders a positive experience while at Treetops and plan to expand our park to best meet the needs of our customers each year. Please email us at Feedback on Terrain Park with your thoughts.
