Terrain Park Update: February 20th 2011

When it snows, particularly when it snows a lot, not only are we dosed with bottomless pow and endless face-shots up here at Stevens Pass, but the boys up in Top Phlight Country are hard at work building new features & making those already out there bigger and meaner. Now almost three months into his tenure as Top Phlight's new top dawg, Gregg Winter is on a mission to change the face of this Terrain Park and has been busy fabricating and introducing new features since day one.

With a bunch of new features already out there this year and jumps all over the place, you might ask, what else is in the works? Well, the dude has plans. Trying not to play spoiler here, I'll just drop a hint; keep an eye on Brennan's Trail. Gregg has tried to put a personal touch on the Terrain Park, offering a new, fresh take on things. One thing that he finds particularly important is producing a park where everyone, from groms to pros, can find something that pushes them to progress their riding.

To be completely honest, Gregg Winter is not Tanner Hall. However, he does believe that if you're going to build something, you need to be able to hit it. The new boss man listens to his crew. With rippers out there like David Steele, Joe Bosler, Max McIndoe, Peder Lovold and Marvin Pingera, Winter is getting all the input he could ask for, and then some. 

As storm after storm rolls through and the snow piles up, you can count on Gregg Winter and our awesome Terrain Park Staff to continue opening eyes out here in the Pacific Northwest and to bring you the best & most innovative Park in the region.

Take a minute to check out the photos below documenting some of our newest features!

The Pro-Line jumps are a lot bigger than they were just a couple weeks ago, so be sure to check your speed next time you roll through! (Top) David Steele goes 7 on the newly improved and enlarged Waterfall! (Bottom) Skier Keith Forsyth shows off with a slow and steezy three-hundred and sixty degree rotation on Junk's Jump.

(Top) The top of the park. The right line is dialed in now, and the belly jumps above the SkullCandy feature have been enlarged. (Bottom) One of several new jib features added to the top lines, pictured is David Steele.

(Top) Down-Flat-Down. Right below the Candycane @ the Top of the Park. (Bottom) Barrel Bonk! Located at the bottom of the Park, left of the Half-Pipe. Rider: David Steele.

(Left) We got so many requests for a big hip that we finally went ahead and did it! Here's Stevens' Max McIndoe sending it. The hip is located on the top right wall of the Pipe. (Right) David Steele checks in on the Down-Flat rail in the lower jib line.
