Nordic Valley Skate Park - Eden UT

The original developer of Nordic Valley Ski Resort sold the property in 1977 to a group of more than 30 local skiers and businesspeople who'd formed a corporation called Ski Associates Inc.

One of the group's first moves was to add a skatepark to bolster offseason attendance.  Later they'd add new ski trails, add lights for night skiing, and improve slope maintenance, but cashing in on the popularity of skateboarding was prioritized.

The park was built on the mountainside and really centered on a single huge snake run.  There was a beginners area and a small bowl, but the snake run was clearly the main attraction. It began as a 400-foot long run, and then expanded to 800 feet, and had the grading done to be even longer. The goal was ultimately to have it serviced by its own lift, but that never came to fruition.
