I have been hearing rumors down the grapevine that terry peak feels that the terrain park brings in no money and is last on the list for terry peak.... if that is true that is one of the most naive, ignorant statement I have ever heard. For one the terrain park is the busiest run on the mountain. Hundreds of people by passes to terry peak purely for the terrain park... People travel great distances from the east not for the hill... for the terrain park. Terry Peak needs to open they're eyes and get with the times. There is a reason that the mountains with the best parks are the mountains that bring in the most revenue. Need to get off the stubborn old way of doing things. You guys have the perfect set up to be at least top ten best parks in the world. Terry has perfect pitch and snow technology to exceed ten folds the poor effort it is doing now. I dont see how terry doesn't want to move forward in this new relm that has seemed to catch on everywhere else. Please expand efforts not just for me but from a business side of things thats is about the only way you are going to get the new generation to come up there and support what you guys do.

Terry Peak has every intention to create a GREAT Terrain Park just like we've had in past seasons. Note that every opportunity that we have had to make snow, the snow guns are also going in the Park. Please pass this on; Terry Peak is committed to building a Terrain Park that is considered to be one of the best the Midwest has to offer. If you would like to come to the Guest Services Building to discuss this issue, I encourage you to do so. Also, the Empress Lift will open as soon as the conditions allow. Everyone wish for snow and cold!
