#Butel how to

After dabbling with snowboard instruction + migrating to work in grooming, it wasnвЂ™t until she pried her trainer, вЂњSo when do I get to start learning how to shape jumps?вЂќ that she was given the opportunity to work on SierraвЂ™s Playgrounds crew. Our only female terrain park builder, Chloe Butel, certainly caught on to that feeling + was able to mold her Sierra-at-Tahoe experience into one she could only dream of. As an employee, itвЂ™s known that passion + hard work gets rewarded with knowledge + opportunities. John Rice not only advocates for progression among guests that come to Sierra but applies the pillar to internal operations. When building some of the first parks at Bear Mountain, he knew, вЂњif we do this the right way, if we build this stuff the right way, then people can enjoy the activity of leaving the Earth and coming back down in a relatively safe way.вЂќ As the sport developed + with key partnerships with Burton and a group called Snow Operating, SierraвЂ™s slopes became a testing lab to pioneer the use of shaped terrain as a means to learn and progress. Rice came to Sierra on the cutting edge of terrain park development and has been an advocate for pushing the boundaries of park design + function since before he joined the Sierra family.

SierraвЂ™s General Manager of almost 30 years, John Rice, drives a philosophy of Progression (also referred to as Playgression) that gets seeped into everything we do at the mountain. As a resort thatвЂ™s produced multiple Olympic medalists + other professional athletes, people may perceive Sierra as somewhere that only caters to big air. вЂњYou canвЂ™t have the big line without the little line.вЂќДЄ simple sentiment, yet one which Sierra-at-Tahoe centers around.
