Dear Fellow Skiers and Snowboarders,

Imagine a Bristol Mountain where aspiring pros, passionate park riders, and beginners all have the tools to reach their full potential. A simple addition—a tow rope in the terrain park—could transform our experience, attract more riders, and keep current pass holders inspired.

The Power of a Tow Rope: A Solution for All Riders

 • For Aspiring Professionals:

 • Lost Training Time: Currently, a single lap through the terrain park takes a minimum of 15–20 minutes. In contrast, parks with tow ropes allow for up to five times the number of laps in the same period.

 • Big Opportunities: Without a tow rope, local riders are at a disadvantage compared to those training at mountains like Mount Snow (VT), Big Boulder (PA), or Woodward Park City (UT), which have dedicated tow ropes in their terrain parks.

 • A Bristol rider going pro would draw significant attention to our mountain, inspire local riders, and position Bristol as a serious destination for freestyle progression.

 • For Park Riders and Pass Holders:

 • Efficiency and Inspiration: Long lap times often discourage riders, leading to a loss of motivation. A tow rope would enable park enthusiasts to complete more laps, progress faster, and stay engaged in the sport.

 • Retention: Many pass holders discover a newfound passion for freestyle riding after experiencing the terrain park. Without the convenience of a tow rope, this passion may wane, potentially affecting pass renewals and overall satisfaction.

 • For Community Stability:

 • Keeping Riders Focused: Providing a tow rope would keep park riders engaged in the park, channeling their energy into progression and enjoyment, all while adhering to resort rules.

The Proven Success of Tow Ropes

Tow ropes are not just a convenience—they’re a proven tool for progression and satisfaction at many popular mountains:

 • Mount Snow, VT: The Carinthia Parks tow rope keeps riders lapping their favorite features, making it one of the most sought-after terrain parks in the Northeast.

 • Big Boulder, PA: Known for its freestyle focus, Big Boulder’s tow rope creates an unmatched experience for park riders of all levels.

 • Woodward Park City, UT: Woodward’s tow rope is a key part of their world-class park system, enabling rapid progression and drawing in top talent.

These examples demonstrate how tow ropes create a more dynamic and attractive park experience. Installing one at Bristol could make it a regional leader in freestyle skiing and snowboarding.

Why This Matters to Bristol Mountain

Bristol has already invested in upgrades to the beginner hill conveyor system, which is appreciated but caters to a different audience. A tow rope would address the needs of the freestyle community—a group that is passionate, loyal, and highly influential. By meeting this need, Bristol could:

 • Retain current pass holders by offering a more engaging terrain park experience.

 • Attract more visitors who hear about Bristol’s improved park access.

 • Build its reputation as a progressive and rider-friendly resort.

The Ripple Effect

Psychologists call it the “social contagion effect”: when one person succeeds, their success inspires others to follow. With a tow rope, Bristol Mountain could become the birthplace of the next generation of freestyle talent.
