Park City Mountain Resort Announces the Opening of Utah's only 22' Superpipe

December 16, 2009


Park City, Utah (December 16, 2009) – Park City Mountain Resort announces the opening of the Eagle Superpipe, Pick ‘N Shovel and Jonesy’s terrain parks on Thursday, December 17, 2009.
 
“The cold temperatures we’ve received over the last few weeks have been great for snowmaking, superpipe and terrain park building,” said Jeremy Cooper, terrain park manager for Park City Mountain Resort. “We’ve spent endless man hours building the pipe and park over the last few weeks to provide the best possible product for potential Olympians who will use our pipe as a training ground for the 2010 Winter Games.”
 
Park City Mountain Resort’s Eagle Superpipe is the first and largest Superpipe to open in Utah for the 2009-2010 season. The historic pipe, where U.S. athletes swept the men's podium and won gold in the women's event during the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, will entertain the masses with Olympians again. The US Snowboarding Grand Prix makes its final stop at Park City Mountain Resort for back to back night competitions, January 22-23, 2010, after which the winners will be crowned and the 2010 US Snowboarding Olympic halfpipe team will be named. More information on the US Snowboarding Grand Prix is available at www.pcride.com.
