Snowboarders, skiers ride it all at Seven Springs urban terrain park


With only 6 more weeks of winter (according to the groundhog) you'll want to get in all the winter activities around the 'Burgh you can!

Snowboarder Mike Abriola was sitting at a simulated, open-sided bus shelter in Seven Springs newest terrain park when a skier hopped up on the bench on the other side, slid across it and scooted away.
"This place is a lot of fun," said Abriola, 19, of Monroeville, referring to The Streets, a walk-up site Seven Springs considers to be "the world's first urban terrain park" at a four-season resort.
Abriola, an architectural engineering student at Penn State University, pointed to the 26 features in the park -- objects that snowboarders can ride on, under or over -- and praised those who designed, built and installed them.
"The guys who made all this are so good at what they do," he said. "The park crew here is really amazing."
