Park Update #1

December 18, 2011 – Sun Peaks, BC – The Green section in the Rockstar Energy Terrain Park is looking good in preparation for the high traffic it sees over the holidays. With six beginner rail features to play on and two small jumps to get you started, this area is all about progression.

The Blue park has a selection of eight rail features in this area. It consists of boxes, rails, PVC piping and culverts. With more to come, watch this space!

The park crew has been busy all week getting the Black terrain park built with a four jump line. Ranging from 15 ft to 45 ft on Nancy. Once we have a bit more snow we will get the Showcase build underway and rail features installed.

Park Update #4: It’s Done

February 8, 2010 – Sun Peaks, BC – It has been a long haul to get the park to the finished product that we have now, but it has all been worth it. A big thanks to all the volunteers for shovelling and raking. There was definitely some big days put in to bring it all together. I also can’t say enough about our grooming crew here at Sun Peaks; the park is immaculate every day because of them, thanks guys.

The park is boasting 37 features now including 10 jumps ranging from 8' to 60' and 27 rail features. We have built a whole new rail section above the main park, and added 7 additional features to this zone, making this the largest park we have ever had at Sun Peaks. If you are doing hot laps of the park you can hit up to 15 features each run every 15 minutes; that's a lot of hits in one day. The lift lines are minimal, and the park is prime so come check it out.

On another note three of our Rockstar Energy Drink flags have been stolen from the terrain park. These flags are quite expensive to replace, so if they could be returned to the bottom of the Sundance Chairlift, or put them back where they were taken from that would be much appreciated. I'm not sure what anybody would do with a 20’ tall flag anyways besides roll it up and stick it in there closet and eventually throw it away when the realize it is useless to them. Rockstar Energy Drink is the reason we have new features in our park every year, so in respect to them sponsoring the park please return the flags.

See you in the park!

Entrants can move up to the Open categories from the Junior categories during the course of the rail jam series. Once an athlete is registered in an Open category they are not permitted to compete in a Junior category over the course of the rail series.

Park Update #2

December 3, 2010 – Sun Peaks, BC – The park has been getting hit hard since we opened it last weekend. Check out the pics of the set up. The rest of the park is also well on its way now, with the snowmaking crew and equipment fully focussed on the terrain park. The piles of snow are building, and we will begin pushing them around with the snow cats in the next day or two. Please respect that the main park will be closed while we are building with the snow cats. The goal is to have a large portion of the main park open by December, 15th. So if you're itching for a park session before the new year put Sun Peaks at the top of your list.

See you in the park!
