Unconventional, cutting-edge, and fresh - These are only few of the adjectives that you can use to describe the much-anticipated opening of Echo Mountain Snowboard and Ski Park in Colorado. This is the firs
t-ever all mountain terrain park built from the ground and is expected to open on mid to late January.
Echo, formerly Squaw Pass Ski Area, will not be catering to those looking for a day of definitely safe skiing or riding. Instead, expect acrobatic riding and skiing, loud music, microwave burritos, night riding, and more. The park is designed for the young with all the rails, pipes, and everything that will give the rush that every skier and rider expect.
Also, the park has appointed Planet Snow Designs to build and design the park with full creative license. Planet Snow Designs happened to be the one which designed the superpipe for the Winter Games in 2002 as well as for other major competitions. Watch out for the opening date and log on to www.echomtnpark.com for more details.
