Mount Snow Moving All Parks to Carinthia for 08/09
From the offices of Mount Snow:
Along with Peak Resorts, I am happy to announce that Mount Snow will dedicate the entire Carinthia mountain face to freestyle terrain parks when it opens for the 2008-09 season, transforming 95 acres of trails into a massive park system.
Carinthia is about to become Vermont’s only all-freestyle mountain face. A smorgasbord of rails, jumps and halfpipes will cover nearly five miles of terrain. A snowskate playground, hikable park, beginners’ learning park and a skate ramp will surround the base area, while the base lodge itself will be renovated and outfitted with lounge areas, an extended outdoor deck with ample seating, counter seating along the windows, free wireless internet, flat screen televisions, outdoor fire pits and a new retail shop.
Skiers and riders can choose from a variety of approximately 125 freestyle features scattered around 12 full terrain parks. A tree-skiing area, a superpipe with 18-foot walls, a mini-pipe with 8-foot walls, an all-natural park absent of manmade material and a big-air site will also be featured.
The sweeping overhaul is the brainchild of Peak Resorts’ president, Tim Boyd, and his son Jesse, Peak’s Vice President of Operations & Freestyle Terrain. Jesse oversaw the modification of Big Boulder in Pennsylvania into an all-freestyle mountain and will work closely with us during the changeover. Our Mountain Manager Elia Hamilton, as well as Parks and Pipes Manager Ken Gaitor, are both nationally recognized and respected freestyle terrain designers who will spearhead the project, scheduled for completion by the time the mountain opens for the 2008-09 season.
