Park City, Utah (September 20, 2007) - Park City Mountain Resort today announced its terrain parks were awarded "Terrain Park(s) of the Year" by the readers of Transworld Snowboarding magazine for the fourth year in a row.
"It is an unbelievable honor to have our four terrain parks recognized as the best for the fourth year in a row, but we aren't resting on our success," said Jim Mangan, director of action sports marketing for Park City Mountain Resort. "We're going to step it up this season with some new features that have never been seen before."

 Last season, Park City Mountain Resort transformed its four terrain parks - PayDay, Pick N' Shovel, King's Crown and Joney's - by switching locations on the mountain and adding new features. The terrain parks included a total of 30 jump features and 60 jib features, with more features to be added in the 2007-08 season. Park City Mountain Resort is also home to the Eagle Superpipe, one of the largest superpipes in North America and the site of the World Superpipe Championships for the last five years. "Park City Mountain has once again lived up to its name and to our reader's high expectations, ranking in as the number one park in the 2008 Resort Poll," said Annie Fast, senior editor for Transworld Snowboarding magazine. "After three consecutive seasons at the top, Park City hasn't been resting on its laurels - the killer parks for all ability levels are constantly evolving and enjoying the highest level of maintenance and an electrified snowboard scene. It all comes together to make Park City an impossible freestyle resort to beat year after year."

Professional snowboarders and skiers, such as Shaun White, Tanner Hall, Erin Comstock, Pep Fujas, Aaron Biittner, Mark Frank Montoya and Ashley Battersby are often seen skiing and riding in Park City Mountain Resort's terrain parks and superpipe. Many of these athletes will appear in Park City Mountain Resort's upcoming ski and snowboard movie, "I Ride Park City," which is filmed entirely at Park City Mountain Resort and will debut in fall 2008. "I Ride Park City" follows in the success of its movie predecessor, "City. Park City.," which was the first 16 mm snowboard movie to feature only one resort (Park City Mountain Resort) and was nominated in two categories at the 2007 X-DANCE Film Festival. Both movies are directed by Park City Mountain Resort's Director of Action Sports Marketing, Jim Mangan, who designs and implements the award-winning terrain parks. |
