The Hibernation Park Jam
It's been a season of new features, great competitions and innovative setups, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. We’ve been cleaning out the closet and found a bunch of prizes, including a 40” Flat Screen TV in the box! So, before we put the metal back in the shop, it’s time to lap the parks for one last weekend. Soft landings, hoodies, goggle tans and a BBQ are all on the agenda; come shred with us, take home some prizes and send Bear Mountain out in style!

Shred Sessions
9:00 a.m. - noon, Dream Maker Terrain Park
You’ve been hitting Killington Parks all season long, and it’s time for a Parks Appreciation Day. Start the morning off in Dream Maker Terrain Park with the park crew - they'll be lapping the park and tossing swag to anyone stomping tricks and having a good time. At 12:00 p.m., we'll move down to the bottom of the Superpipe for a BBQ and more tricks at the Park Jam.
This event is free and open to the public.
Park Jam and BBQ
12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m., bottom of the Superpipe
Meet us at the bottom of the Superpipe for grilling and music! The BBQ is just for Park Jam competitors, so make sure you register early. Then check out the venue - the park crew will be giving the rail garden at the Superpipe one last facelift for the season, so expect a superb set-up. We're getting creative with a laid-back format and some sweet prizes, too. Session the venue, impress the judges, and get a place on the podium with great prizes to go with it!
Registration fee of $10 includes lunch and entry into Park Jam. Limited spots available and registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
