Small mountains with parks

[neonpink]

I was reading an article somewhere about how small mountains in new jersey and similar areas stay afloat financially from the revenue generated from attracting people through parks. does anyone remember where this was and how I can find it?

It was skiing magazine. I will find it when I get home, I think it was a december issue from 02-04. It showed mountain creek and a guy on K2 enemies coming out of the pipe.

[JayDope]

[freestyleskiin]

my park is the opposite....no park

 

[Redstar]

Mountain Creek has a sick park. From what I've heard, you can probably take the best rider at your hill, and most of the kids at Creek will kick his ass at riding. There's soooo many good kids there. It's known for it's park, 3rd best on the East Coast I believe. It's also known because of Grenade having it's roots there (Danny Kass, Dave Schiff, Kyle Clancy, Sketchy D)

[scarroll]

Yeah man creek is my home moutain and if it werent for the park and the asians they would have no money.

 

[hylandrox]

hyland would be done for with out its park

 

[iskindiana]

here in indiana we wouldnt loose many skier visits if there wasnt a park, most poeple ski here becuase they are from tennesse and have never seen snow before

 

[Dan.]

its true, here in CO we have all these rather large mountains, but when comparing the parks here to those anywhere else, they are truely lacking.

 

[SirFryanator]

parks aren't needed on the westside for fun .

That actually sucks for EC. I am glad I didn't stay there.

Don't get me wrong: Parks + EC = excellent

 

[S2daJ]

[fillup]

i ski alta, they get .1% of there ticket sales through the park

 

[SnowRiders.]
