SUN VALLEY, Idaho -- Sun Valley Resort has opened a new terrain park featuring a huge jump line, 13 rails, boxes and jibs.
The resort opened the new area at Dollar Mountain this weekend, as well as a new tubing hill.
Director of Sales and Marketing Jack Sibbach says the company has been mulling the feasibility of a freestyle park for at least a decade.
California-based Snow Park Technologies has a three-year contract with Sun Valley to help design, build, maintain and market the new parks and superpipe.
Sibbach says there has been some resistance from traditional skiers, but he's pleased to see the interest generated by the new feature.
