Snowpark Niagara officially kicks off

All summer long, Western New York has felt the arctic chill of Snow Park’s outdoor winter wonderland. From the many fierce lanes of tubing to the year-round outdoor skating rink, Snow Park has brought thrills and chills to tourists and locals alike who just can’t seem to get enough of the white stuff. Now, Snow Park is utilizing the latest in snowmaking technology to bring a snowboarding terrain park.
Half of the 12-lane tubing hill was converted for specific snowboarding and skiing use in October. The new snowboarding section will house two 16-foot flat rails, one 20-foot rail, and other custom built features like a dance floor fun box and an A-frame structure. All lanes will continue to use a mixture of real snow using the latest technology provided by SnowMagic and will also use Snowflex, a high performance synthetic system that has been called the closest replication of snow in the past 50 years. SnowMagic uses a unique patented technology to manufacture snow without any additives or chemicals. Snowflex can be used anywhere all four seasons.
Eric Kanner, an avid snowboarder in Western New York, is excited to have another winter themed extreme sport venue in the area,
“I’m no stranger to hitting the slopes in the south towns during winter, but when this place opens, it’ll actually be closer and cheaper than anything in the snow belt. Not to mention I can hit it all year.” When asked if he needs the extra year-round practice time to keep up with his other boarder buddies, Kanner’s answer was to the point, “I got mad skills.”
