Kingvale Snow Park Loses Its Lease

by The Editors on October 7, 2010

Kingvale LogoKingvale, one of smoothest little park-only mountains in the world, announced this week that they have lost the lease on their property at the side of Highway 80 near Northern California’s Donner Summit. They explain on their blog:

Today is a SAD SAD Day for Kingvale. We have lost our lease on our current home. Our landlord and us just can’t seem to get along. We are left with no other options than to pack up our circus and try to find a new home. We have too much equipment to list, but we are completely turn-key all we need is some dirt/snow to put it on. . . If you have a spot that might work to be the new Kingvale please email us at info@railbuilders.com. We will answer all questions to come. In the future we are just trying to save our DREAM. Please bare with us.

We know a lot of people in Sacramento, Auburn, and Grass Valley who are going to be seriously disappointed. Spots like Kingvale help introduce snowboarding to thousands of kids who otherwise could not afford snowboarding and we hope Kingvale can find a new home.

Sad indeed. That was nothing but a shitty ass snow tubing hill till the homeys took it over and made something out of nothing. Enough hills in Cisco Grove to throw something up the hill by Chevron. Good luck getting the forest service on their side, though.
