Sierra-at-Tahoe Mini Park
The yardstick by which a great park is distinguished from a good park lies in how quickly things get put back up after a storm. When a big midwinter dump rolls through your local mountain one of many things can happen. Maybe the dudes in the snowcats just try to keep digging stuff out, which makes for awful trajectories on takeoffs and landings. Or maybe the guys on park crew just take out all the features and go ride powder, thinking that you want to do the same. But the real deal resorts get right back to work, pushing the new snowfall into fun new features to stoke out you and all the other kids around.
Sierra-at-Tahoe is one such resort, that hits the slopes running right after the storm passes. Doug Mercer and his crew have been hard at work following holiday storms that brought the season’s snowfall total to 331 inches. Well practically at the same time the roads to the mountain opened…the park reopened. They’ve been putting in new features in all week, and there’s a three pack of 40 footers on the west side as well as a grip of jibs.
The always-fun mini park along the top ridge is stacked up too, which makes a great for a great warm up on your way to South Lake Tahoe’s only superpipe—freshly cut and weighing in at 400 feet.

these rails used to be called double downs, but then KFC took our name and gave it to their most delicious creation so now they're just kinked rails
