SUPER
PIPE OPENS
Kelowna

B.C: Big White Ski
Resort’s commitment to their many freestyle snowboarders and skiers
has been amplified today with the announcement of the opening of the Okanagan’s
only Super Pipe, scheduled to open on
Saturday February 1st 2003
.
A
Super Pipe is a larger size half pipe with longer, easier to ride
transitions. Located off the Speculation run accessible from the
Ridge Rocket Express chairlift, the new Super Pipe is the official size
of an Olympic competition pipe at 450 feet long with a 17 foot radial
transition. The development of the new Super Pipe is a welcome
addition and puts Big White Ski Resort within the elite resorts of
North America
and is second in
British Columbia
to feature this product.
"We
are thrilled to be offering this new product to our freestyle skiers and
snowboarders," commented Michael J. Ballingall, Vice President. "We
hope new school enthusiasts will utilize this area to improve their
skills and we look forward to hosting larger, world-class
competitions."
A
new state of the art pipe-grooming machine has been used to create the
pipe. Snowmaking is required to create harder snow for the pipe
walls in addition to the dry powder snow the resort receives in
abundance. "We've pumped over 4 million gallons of water onto
this area," said Ballingall.
