Smuggs Parks & Pipes
|
|
|
Smuggs Terrain Parks are rated in the top five in the East by SKI magazine readers in the 2007 survey. But what do they know? Come try out the many parks and pipes and choose your own level of progression:
At Morse Highlands Log Jam Terrain Park there are lots of features to get started on - a fun box, mini-pipe, rolls, and a wide assortment of low level hits.
The Birch Run Park on Sterling Mountain sports a variety of intermediate level slopeside hits in a wide park with good viewing spots.
The Zone on Sterling Mountain is loaded with the latest rails, hits, and giant air ramps. This park is located on the lower level of the Practice Slope on Sterling Mountain and is also the site of the Slammin' Saturdays events.
On Madonna Mountain you will find multiple hits, table tops, spines and rolls for intermediate and advanced freestylers. Prohibition Park on the Lower FIS trail is conveniently located adjacent to the Superpipe on the Playground trail.
If you talk to anyone familiar with halfpipes, they're likely to tell you that Smuggs has the best in Vermont if not the East. Come watch or participate in the Superpipe Jams as part of our Slammin' Saturdays event series.
