Smuggs Parks Rock!

February 2012

Welcome to Winter 2011-2012!

Winter may be weeks away, but tell that to the denizens of Gravity Control! Special thanks to Never Summer Industries for furnishing this exciting new park feature!

Freestyle skiers and riders of all abilities will find everything they're looking for in our four terrain parks, with plenty of features to challenge and thrill. All of our park features are planned and created by a team of experts committed to designing the best freestyle facilities in a progression experience that accommodates a wide range of rider and skier ability levels.

Our parks:
The Zone. On Sterling Mountain you'll find The Zone, home of the Gravity Control rail jam, slopestyle, and big air events as well as other special events held during the Winter season. The biggest hits, rails, and fun boxes are all accessible via the Sterling T-Bar. These features are for expert and championship skiers and riders only!

Birch Run Terrain Park. At the base of Sterling Mountain, this park is designed for intermediate level skiers and riders with modified table tops, rolls, and spines.

Prohibition Park. Located on Madonna Mountain's intermediate Playground trail, Prohibition typically features rails and jumps for intermediate skiers and riders.

Log Jam. The Log Jam park is on Morse Mountain in the Morse Highlands area, a pod of trails for novice skiers and riders with its own dedicated lift. This introductory park typically has small style rails, gentle snow features like rollers, and a fun box, perfect for both adults and children to begin their terrain park adventures!

NEW this year - little snowboarders get their own learning and play park! Smugglers' has been working with Vermont's Burton Snowboards to develop the next generation of the Burton Riglet Park, an on-snow play area with fun terrain features designed for introducing young children to snowboarding. The park's focal point is a "treehouse," an elevated platform with ramps that children can ride down, a balance area inside the treehouse and a lift chair that swings to help kids practice getting on and off the lift. Playing in the park on small rolling hills, miniature box-style rails, pyramids and a mini-halfpipe allows children to gain the necessary balance and muscle memory to begin sliding and making turns on sloped terrain. The park is at the Resort's Sir Henry's Learning Area with conveyor lift access.
