Florida Ave. This Urban Terrain Park features six rails of all shapes and sizes. With features designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders. Denver Parks & Recreation work hard to blow up to 3 feet of snow to bring a truly unique experience to the Denver metro area.

Lib Technologies is known as the innovator in snowskates. In 2006 they revolutionized the way people snowskate by adding the Magne-Traction side-cut giving the board extra contact points which provide a better edge hold. In 2007 they added new Banana Technology, which is a reverse camber design between the trucks. These combined technologies make the snowskate feel more like a skateboard on concrete.

GNU was the 1st company to produce bi-level snowskates which are Handcrafted in the USA near Seattle, WA.

To keep everything moving, the snowskates will be waxed with One Ball Jay wax, the largest wax factory in the USA.
