Cutter’s Camp 2017

The weeklong Timberline program for terrain park professionals features on-hill and classroom workshops, including the return of one-on-one customized operator coaching and the Park Challenge workshop.

Cutter's Camp will once again partner with Colorado State University's Ski Area Management program to cover business topics relevant to park managers. The latest machines from PistenBully and Prinoth will be on hand for participants to demo, including demos of the newest snow management technology systems. Campers will also participate in an on-hill practicum for the NSAA Freestyle Terrain Resource Guide.

Carinthia, Mount Snow, Vt., will host the eastern Cutter’s Camp, Nov. 6-8, 2017, featuring the new "Fall Refresher" program. The eastern camp will cover the same educational programming and classroom workshops as the western camp.

Sessions to be covered at both camps include:

• Lessons learned from terrain park court cases

• Creating a budget and financial planning for park programs

• Hosting successful events and contests in your park

• Design and construction of snow and man-made features

• Pre- and post-loss risk management strategies for your park program

• Social media and parks

• Snow science: how to get the most from your product

• Signage update

• Strategies for growing participation

• Machine operation and maintenance

• Staff and guest education

…and much, much more.
