Obviously, the new Forum sponsored terrain park at Pennsylvania’s Seven Springs Resort was not built for us, but maybe someone can explain why anyone would want to buy a lift ticket and then pretend to snowboard in the streets, when they could just save the money and go snowboard in the streets instead? Is it the lifts? Is it the safe, wholesome family surroundings? This whole thing seems a little too sterile.
Those who don’t agree should hit up the Forum Seven Springs The Streets grand opening on Janaury 19, 2012. There will be parties, riding, and then more parties. Or as the release says:
With music blasting, drinks flowing and good vibes spreading, all you have to do is be at Seven Springs Resort in PA next Thursday, January 19th. If you can’t make it, stay tuned for a video edit and photo blasts on FORUMSNOWBOARDS.com.
Guess we’ll stay tuned for the video.

Same reason skate parks are busy.
Every spent the time to drive to spots like this at night, lugged around a generator, lights, frozen power cords, propane tanks, a torch, a sawzall, grinder and dealt with cops, as well as lack of snow and other issues?
Convenience and comfort zone for training purposes. Learn in the park, take it to the street.
You should be applauding a resort for embracing snowboarding rather then bitching about something positive happening in Pennsylvania of all places.
Hmm tickets and confiscation or buying tickets and not dealing with the headaches? Seems pretty obvious to me.
Wow, what a poorly written, negative article. Nice work. Way to celebrate the sport.
Agreed. Chances are good that those riding this park will be stoked and (let’s hope) grateful for this addition to their resort. And maybe the old folks will see it draw the reckless kids from the groomers. And Forum gets to boast they’re pushing things forward. The resort gets to sets themselves apart from their competitors. And maybe they require helmets, so there’s less TBI. I don’t know, why talk shit about a park? Slow news day?
