Sunday River Idea

Sup Newschoolers?

So basically schools over, and I live in Maine over the summer. why am I telling you this, well last weekend I was mountain biking in the bethel area, (ya know where Sunday River is...) and they were cutting a new trail on North Peak (for anyone who knows or cares where that is) I ended up talking to a liftie, who told me the trail was for the newest addition to the Sunday River park family. he was saying that it was going to be up all year, top to bottom. (a total of 15 acres for anyone else who cares) they also said that this pre season they are putting in another 5.2 million dollars in snow guns. So if you're still reading at this point, my idea was to gauge the amount of interest in a " DESIGN YOUR OWN FEATURE" contest for the new park. SO, Newschoolers, are you interested or what? I want to gauge the amount of interest from people, and if we can get enough interest, See if Sunday River would actually do something similar to this.

HERE IS THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PARK:

Thanks Newschoolers,

this makes me wonder if they are going to put in full facilities and shit at North Peak, it's kind of just a clearing in the woods with a lift and some condos at the moment

I heard the new park will replace the other parks, specifically I heard the jib park will be phased out entirely. Honestly, I aint even mad. The jib park sucks.. it could not be any more flat.

I've never been to Sunday River, but this is interesting.

"This summer, Sunday River will begin the earthwork required to build a 15-acre terrain park trail that includes the earthen sub-base for an 18-foot Superpipe. This trail, to be named at a later date, will be designed in partnership with X Games medalist and 2014 Olympic hopeful, Simon Dumont.

Sunday River’s new terrain park trail will be located on North Peak between the Dream Maker and 3D trails – a site recommended to the resort by Snow Park Technologies – and serviced directly by the North Peak Express and Chondola high-speed lifts.

Based on an ideal pitch for freestyle terrain and a straight fall line the trail will encompass 15 acres and measure 200 feet wide and 2,300 feet in length. The upper elevation of the trail will be 1,970 feet and the lower elevation will be 1,260 feet for a vertical drop of 710 feet.

Once completed, this new terrain park trail will replace the current Rocking Chair Terrain Park and Superpipe located on Barker and Locke Mountains, and will become the new site of Simon Dumont’s signature event—the Dumont Cup."

This is going to phase out jib park, rocking chair, and the super shitty pipe. Sunday river(cnl leasing) is not letting anything else happen in the next 4 years untill we pay off the lease and also pay sugarloafs debt off so no on the facilities.

Op i hope you talked to brandon(the big guy with glasses up top) cause he is really the only skiier runing that lift.
