This season App Terrain Park sets a new standard for terrain park safety in the Southeast. A park pass program requires a short park safety and etiquette education course in order to use the Appaljack and Appal Jam parks. ATP has implemented the park pass program in a move to reduce accidents and provide a more enjoyable experience for all terrain park users.
Getting the annual park pass is fast and easy – around a 15 minute process. This program will require all park users to watch a customized video about terrain park etiquette and safe practices. The video will be followed by a short multiple choice test and a release waiver that must be signed by riders and parents of park riders under the age of 18.
For greater convenience, the video and safety/etiquette test will be available online at appskimtn.com/parkpass to expedite registration and minimize waiting. The release waiver may be printed out and signed by parents of underage users (under 18 years) prior to visiting Appalachian Ski Mtn.
After completing the test, riders will receive a picture ID and lanyard for a nominal $5 annual fee. For one-time park users, a $3 one day pass is available following the education program.
Each of these parks will have a monitor at the entrance to ensure that all users have undergone park education and also to ensure that entry-level rental equipment users are not accessing these upper level parks. The AppalTop Terrain Park and Candied Appal terrain park areas will not require a park pass. These progression parks feature smaller and lower rails, boxes and jumps designed for beginning park users.
“This investment in our guest’s safety is the most important thing we can do to improve an already outstanding terrain park experience”, said General Manager Brad Moretz.
The App Terrain Parks change layout and design regularly from a selection of over 50 rails, boxes, bonks and jibs.
