Park City, Utah (July 27, 2011) “I Ride Park City,” Park City Mountain Resort’s action sports brand announces enhancements for the 2011-2012 winter season, including a new 3 Kings Chairlift, a permanent Cobra Dogs structure, additions to the PC All Star team and a newly launched website, irideparkcity.tv.

“Last year was a transformative year for us with the improvements to the 3 Kings Park and the addition of Cobra Dogs,” says Jeremy Cooper, terrain park manager. “I am excited to be able to continue to improve Park City’s action sports program and strongly feel that the improvements we are working on this summer will allow us to remain one of the top park programs in the country.”

The 3 Kings chairlift is being replaced with a triple chairlift that will double the carrying capacity of the lift. The new chairlift will allow skiers and snowboarders to access the terrain park and Eagle Superpipe faster. Dirt work is underway on the Eagle Superpipe to allow the Resort to open the pipe earlier in the season. Also, a permanent Cobra Dogs structure will be built adjacent to the base of the 3 Kings chairlift.

Local skiers Alex Schlopy and Joss Christensen have recently been named to the Park City All Star team. Both skiers experienced a breakthrough season in 2010-2011, including Schlopy’s World Championship win on his home turf at Park City. Both Schlopy and Christensen grew up riding and training on the Park City terrain and are perfect additions to the team of professional skiers and snowboarders who all ride Park City.

The “I Ride Park City” brand was introduced during the 10-11 winter season. The recently launched website, www.irideparkcity.tv, was designed to showcase not only our team of All Stars, but the progression happening daily in our parks and pipe. Be sure to check the site regularly as video clips, professional caliber photography and blog posts are updated throughout the season.
