Pennsylvania’s Alpine Mountain Resort has tapped the services of Jim Dellavalle to redesign the resort’s Terrain Park and Half Pipe. Jim is a master snowboarder and renowned groomer. The new area, which is being called “Snowboarder’s Heaven,” will feature a 350-foot lighted half pipe, tabletops, step down umps, and handrails from basic to advanced. The area will have an area for the adventurous rider as well as a milder area for the novice. The resort has also ordered a Pipe Dragon groomer to groom both the half pipe and snowtubing chutes.

Additional inner tubes are being added to the inventory for snow tubing, along with mini-sized “Kiddie Tubes.” To support kids, a “kiddie” tubing area is being added.

Alpine Mountain is offering special discounts on lift tickets purchased pre-season. Early Fall Season rates will remain in effect until November 1, 2004.
