Cold front: Terrain park nation. Once the hidden stepsister of the ski industry, terrain parks and halfpipes have taken center stage. Welcome to the show
Article Abstract:
Since the birth of the terrain park at Sonnenburg Ski Hill in Barnard, VT in 1982, terrain parks have been transformed from snowboarder-only areas tucked in out-of-the-way places to playgrounds for all located at the front and center. Terrain parks allow resorts with natural terrain deficiencies to compete with the best resorts.

Article Abstract:
At South Lake Tahoe, the ski culture mixes with gambling and strip clubs. Although the skiing is great, the gambling atmosphere can detract from the apres ski thing, and the dancers are kind of sad.
