Snow Jobs, the series that takes you behind the scenes of ski area operations to see what it really takes to churn out the snow, design terrain park features, and everything else that keeps us happy on the hill. The crew at Cannonsburg Ski & Ride Area has been gracious enough to let us duck in and look under the hood to show you what it’s like inside the mind of some of the dedicated and hardworking people that make things happen. Missed out on snowmaking in Episode 1? Make the Jump Here.
It’s no secret that in the past couple of seasons, Cannonsburg has made a name for themselves as the spot for progressive terrain parks and feature design. From their Riglet park geared toward 2-6 year olds, The Projects aimed at honing those skills, on up to The Monster City Park – bringing the urban flavor to a ski resort setting.
In episode 2 of Snow Jobs we follow terrain park feature fabricator Stephan Miller at Cannonsburg Ski Area in Michigan to gain insight on the creativity and hard work that goes into designing and fabricating progressive terrain park features. Stephan dives into design and fab work on the 30′ Never Summer whale tail feature all built in-house at Cannonsburg.
