2023 SESSION HIGHLIGHTS 

UTILIZING EVENTS TO GROW YOUR TEAM
When it comes to building a team, we can no longer sit and wait for applications to filter in each fall, we need to be actively recruiting and engaging the future of our workforce...but how? Parker Bohon of The Blade Dive moderates a panel of industry professionals to learn how operationally-focused events are gaining traction and inspiring a movement around the country and beyond. No event is too small if it can help grow the next generation of skilled and passionate workers at your resort.

TRANSITION THESE FEATURES INTO YOUR PARK
Grab your outdoor gear and head outside Ullman Hall to our transition demo park. This hands-on session will rotate campers through different stations as they learn some tips and tricks to building and maintaining some of the more popular transition features found in parks and events including boobs, volcanoes, hips, and more.

THE JIB FACTORY
Rails, boxes, wall rides, and organic elements—made out of everything from wood to metal—have pushed jib features to center stage. What are today's current trends? What are customers demanding? And what's the best material for your climate and maintenance concerns? A panel of experts will dive into these questions and share current industry data and best practices.

WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN
Join the Arena Snowparks team as they share their personal experiences of handling unexpected challenges during park builds and events. Getting the job done when shit hits the fan, and failure is not an option, demands creative solutions, and on-your-feet thinking. Learn how they tackle unforeseen and nearly catastrophic situations, but push through to succeed in the end. 

PRE- AND POST- SEASON CHECKLISTS
Do you make checklists for pre- and post-season planning and maintenance of your parks? This workshop will take campers though in-depth pre-season and post-season planning and we'll work together to develop strategic checklists to take with you to help run a safe and successful park program.

ASTM RESOURCE GUIDE UPDATE & JUMP MEASUREMENT
Members of the terrain park resource taskforce will share the latest news and updates on the ASTM standards for jump measurement and terrain park design. 

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
Back by popular demand, the intensive one-on-one on-hill coaching gives each camper a concentrated block of cat-time, building in the park on-hill with a top park builder. Campers have the opportunity to ask all their burning questions, get veteran tips and advice, and hone their operating skills. Whether you have one year or eightyears of experience as an operator, you choose what you and your coach focus on. You are in the driver's seat!


RISK MANAGEMENT

The in's and out's of terrain park risk management
 will be examined with experts from leading insurance companies and ASDA attorneys. Topics will include the main areas that impact terrain park litigation, including: education, warning, design, construction, maintenance, and supervision.
