Whistler Blackcomb's new Global Cutter shaped half pipe
Blackcomb Mountain’s new 22 foot Global Cutter shaped halfpipe is officially open. Arena Snowparks has been on site through the first two weeks of January getting the pipe ready for the arrival of the new cutter from New Zealand.
New Fabrication Workshop
Arena Snowparks has opened a new rail fabrication shop just north of Whistler in Pemberton, BC. Currently we are working on a new stair set for Telus which will be going into the park on Whistler Mountain. The feature consists of a round bar down rail on one side, flat down box in the middle and a round bar flat down on the other side with stairs in-between the rails. Next up we’ll be building a double sided quarter pipe wall ride for Quicksilver.
