Company employees are currently building access roads and sledding trails complete with log rail slides and cliffs.
"When complete we will have the world's first rocket sled park. Aside
from making sleds, this will be the focal point of our season. It will
be our R&D test facility and the home of all things sledding. While
building the park we are making every effort to make as little impact
as possible while using any timber cut as features within the park.
There will be a sledder-cross trail for races as well as huge jumps for
the big air comps," said company president Whitney Phillips.

"Upon completion you will be able to enjoy a ride to the top on a
passenger-carrying snowmobile. Take in the views of The Valley from the
top and enjoy 1,211 feet of vertical glade slope back down to the
pickup. You can cruise through huge maples in the best glades in the
state or look for some of the cliff bands that are
scattered throughout. Down near the bottom you will find
jumps, rails and amazing features made from cut timbers," he explained.
Phillips said that the land is under a conservation/logging easement
which allows recreational uses and required that it be managed for
timber. Accordingly, the land needs to be selectively harvested and, as
part of that harvest, a logging road and staging area will be created.
