Suicide Six to get two new terrain parks

Resort to open Dec. 14

The Woodstock Inn & Resort, in partnership with Arena Snowparks, is constructing two new terrain parks and freestyle terrain at the resort’s Suicide Six Ski Area for the 2019-2020 ski season.

The mountain’s Milky Way will contain smaller, entry-level terrain while Lasky’s Lot will cater to intermediate skiers and riders. Arena Snowparks built five custom features specifically for Suicide Six.  The variety of rails and boxes include a 22-foot Fat Rainbow Rail, 30-foot flat down box and a 20-foot Flat Rail.

Both terrain parks are designed to support snowsports progression while also providing optimal teaching areas.

In addition to the two parks,  the majority of the east side of Suicide Six serviced by chair 2 will be designated as freestyle terrain.

Suicide Six will host two freestyle events, too. On Saturday, Dec. 28 the inaugural Festivus Rail Jam competition will take place under lights on the bottom of Lasky’s Lot. Then on Sunday, Feb. 9 the SoPo Ranch Slopestyle Contest will be held for youth ages 7-17. The ski area will open on Dec. 14. For more information, visit: suicide6.com.
