Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Last night Park Staff added three new terrain park features to Bear’s Lower Park Run making for a total of 34. Among these are a new flat box, a rainbow box, and two rollers in The Gulch. Chair 9 is also expected to open this coming Tuesday from Upper Park Run connecting to Expressway. “I can’t wait to get to work on Upper Park Run, this unexpected storm added to the start of a great season,” says Park Development Specialist Clayton Shoemaker. ”We’re stoked.” In addition to this exciting news, be on the look out this week for some of Bear and Thirty Two’s team riders testing their new skills for the 09-10 season.
