We Got Snow!

2011-12-29T15:04:00.000-05:00

The Sprig O'Pine hike park now has soft powdery landings! But seriously, go out and find some powder; last night we acquired at least a foot of snow. So go out there and get some.

Kids and GoPros

2011-12-24T12:22:00.001-05:00

Here are two videos recently made by two BV locals. Props to Jack and Andrew. You guys are speedy with those edits.

Here's a Holiday Gift

2011-12-21T20:48:00.001-05:00

That's right; we dig in the rain. Tonight we set up three features on Sprig of Pine. The Sam rail or down flat down, the flat box set down, and the flat tube set down. The Mountain Manager went out of his way to help us build this hike park. So, remember to say 'thank you' to Harold and the park crew when you see them. Happy Holidays from BV Parks!

Everybody's Tubin' for the Weekend

2011-12-17T14:56:00.002-05:00

We've installed one of our new features on the Mighty Mite, a spectacular 20' flat tube. We'll keep this tube up until we have a park, which will hopefully be soon. A park before Christmas would be the best gift ever! Keep praying that the temps and the humidity will drop, and that mother nature starts dropping more snow.

New Video on the Blog

2011-12-13T09:57:00.002-05:00

Check out our video in our video bar from opening weekend, featuring your park specialists Nick Wilkins and Taylor Stout, high school intern Parker Cornbrooks, and special guest Peter J Malloy II. Chillzone Destruktion Krack Krew.

Mighty Box

2011-12-11T13:55:00.001-05:00

After four years, we finally managed to get on box up for opening day. A huge thanks goes to the new Ski School Director, Jamie, for letting us share her space on the Mighty Mite. Couldn't have done it without her. It was so great to see everyone having a blast and to final give back to our park passholders.

Please Mother Nature . . .

2011-12-09T12:59:00.001-05:00

Keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow.
