-Organized amateur events
The scoop:
Terrain parks geared to differing levels of ability are enticing more and more kids, moms and dads, and recreational skiers and riders into playing in the parks. Smugglers' Notch Resort offers a step-up progression that begins with a modest level of difficulty and leads through several parks towards big air.
The Log Jam Terrain Park, Smugglers' park for novices, is now in its third season. The park is situated on the Log Jam trail at Morse Highlands to offer a wide trail and long run, as well as snowmaking capability. The park hosts several fun boxes, a mini-pipe and two rollers as an assortment of low level hits.
For intermediate snow sports enthusiasts the Birch Run Terrain Park on Sterling Mountain is the next step. This 1200 foot long run covers two acres with rails, ramps and one jump. Both intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders, ages 6 to adult, can sign up for a one-hour private Terrain Park Tactics session to work on their park skills.
The Zone on Sterling Mountain is fitted with jumps, rails, and ramps, all of a larger and more impressive nature than those offered in the other parks. Throughout the season there is a Gravity Control Rail Jam, Slopestyle or Big Air event that give participants a chance to show their prowess and win prizes in front of crowds of bystanders. These events take place at the Zone.
The buzz:
-"The gentle yet fun features at the Log Jam terrain park make this area perfect for trying out park features in a non-threatening setting." -Harley Johnson, Snow Sport University director
-"Smuggs Gravity Control events in The Zone give skiers and riders of all ages and ability levels a chance to win cool prizes - just for having tons of fun!" -Steve Clokey, Smugglers' promotions manager
-"Night School for Jibbing teaches the basics of terrain park skills for snowboarders and includes a 1 1/2-hour lesson and equipment rental. It takes place every Tuesday and Wednesday late afternoon on Sir Henry's Hill and is a great way to get a good foundation for riding in the parks." -Harley Johnson, Snow Sport University director
