Big Rock hosts safety training event

    VAIL, Colo. – The Jeep Terrain Park Challenge announced that Maine’s Big Rock Resort has been selected to host a safety clinic and competition on Sunday, Mar. 9.     Terrain parks, one of the nation’s newest and fastest growing trends, push skiing and snowboarding to the extreme as riders navigate through a series of pipes, rails, tabletops and other obstacles, while pulling off tricks or getting air. With the increasing number of terrain park riders, however, comes a risk of injury to beginner and expert riders alike.
    To address this concern, the program will bring together skiers and snowboarders to one of the nation’s best terrain parks, and will train riders how to avoid injury when seeking big air or attempting extreme stunts.
    The Jeep Terrain Park Challenge guides riders through the National Ski Area Association’s world-class Smart Style program, emphasizing awareness of surroundings, knowing one’s limits and respecting other riders.
