ロサンゼルスから約１時間ほどでアクセスできるスキー・リゾート、マウンテンハイにこれまでのアイテムの想像を超えるアイテムが登場することになった！
一つは、ロスにある有名なコンサートホールにあるレールをそのままのサイズで再現して、ジブ・アイテムにするというもの。
ダウン（19段）・フラット・ダウン（18段）という超ロングレールは、名物レールとなり、多くの腕自慢ライダーたちが駆けつけて来そうだ。きっと、多くのメディアでも紹介され、マウテンハイの大きなプロモーショーンになることだろう。
その他、ハリウッドというテーマの巨大ウォールも登場するということで、今季のマウンテンハイのパークがどんなことになってしまうのか、ひじょうに楽しみである。
Los Angeles Feature #1: The Concert Hall Handrail from Mountain High Resort on Vimeo.
Mountain High To Offer The Los Angeles Features
The first in the series of four is The Concert Hall Handrail.
Mountain High is Southern California’s closest winter resort located just an hour and a half from Los Angeles and Orange County. The area consists of three separate mountains (Mountain High East, West, and North), and offers a wide variety of lifts and trails, two world-class terrain parks, an outstanding Winter Sports School, and the region’s largest tubing area. Night skiing & snowboarding is available 5 nights-a-week and snowmaking covers more than 80% of the slopes. Mountain High has been the first resort to open in Southern California for the past 13 years and traditionally operates from mid November to mid April. Get more at mthigh.com.
“If you live in Los Angels, Mountain High is your backyard,” says Mountain High marketing consultant, Brad Farmer. “So, we thought it would be really interesting to bring iconic features that people would recognize from the Los Angeles area into the terrain parks.”
The Concert Hall is at 111 South Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, California and it has some insane handrails that snowboarders and skiers alike have dreamed of having the opportunity to slide. This coming winter at Mountain High, they can do just that.
“Snowboarding is becoming more accessible and influenced by urban lifestyle,” says Mountain High team rider, Nick Visconti. “Bringing the iconic features of Los Angeles to Mountain High is an incredibly creative idea and the epitome of current snowboard culture. I seriously can’t wait to ride and film on these new features this winter.”
The Concert Hall Hand Rail is just one of four new features that will be introduced at Mountain High this winter. The next three include The Hollywood Wallride, LA Convention Center Rails and The Wedge Quarterpipe.
“I’ve really been inspired by how close Mountain High is to Los Angeles and how relevant the urban culture is at this particular mountain resort,” says Farmer. “When we started planing a new marketing concept and thinking about how to connect the city to the mountain, this whole idea unfolded as if it was meant to be. It’s very exciting to see it all coming together and I believe the Mountain High customers are really going to enjoy the new offering.”
Look for Mountain High to be stepping up its complete terrain park game this winter. Not only will these new features be in place but the are plans to get really creative with more urban and skate influenced setups including tons of tranny everywhere thanks to their new Zaugg Monster Transition Cutter.
