Alpine Meadows reveals terrain park plan

Alpine Meadows is embarking on a completely updated plan for its terrain parks this winter, in essence, kicking the old park out and taking on something totally new.

What was traditionally built on two designated runs will now be spread across the entire face of the mountain.

“The idea of incorporating features into the mountain’s natural topography is a perfect, clear fit at Alpine Meadows,” explained Alpine Meadows terrain park designer and manager Jonahs David.

“Alpine Meadows is world renowned for its natural terrain; why not represent that great aspect in our park features? The majority of our skiers and riders spend as much of their time exploring all 2400 acres as they do the parks; and in the way a guest can find steeps, moguls, chutes, or spines anywhere on the mountain, we want guests to be able to try a park feature on other areas of the mountain.”

“The new park plan is appealing in that our park designer and staff can build terrain features which blend with the natural banks, rollers, and mountain layout. This type of design is certainly a growing trend in the industry; but it is a true fit for Alpine Meadows,” said Kent Hoopingarner, Alpine Meadows general manager.
