SAM Magazine-Wrightwood, Calif., Oct. 10, 2008-Mountain High has doubled the ski area's investment in its Faultline terrain park offerings for 2009. The investment will result in a wide range of new features including a massive 20' x 20' wallride. In addition, two new park-specific Prinoth grooming machines costing more than $800,000 have been added to ensure more consistent snow products throughout the park.

The wallride will be fully illuminated for night riding. The new feature is made using a Skatelite topsheet material that delivers a consistent riding surface that won't warp as temperatures rise. Also joining Faultline's collection of over 100 features are a 20' doublewide flat rail, a new rainbow box, and a jump box.

"Faultline has been working hard this summer to complete an arsenal of rider-friendly features for next season," said Justin Montoya, Faultline terrain park manager. "Riders can find entry-level features off Creek Side lift, while everyone from mid-level riders to pros can progress on Faultline's wide range of features spread over 100 acres."

The state-of-the-art Prinoth grooming machines, a BisonX and a Bison Sherpa Winch, are more environmentally friendly and will increase productivity and efficiency. That translates to more consistently groomed terrain on a nightly basis, according to Mountain High. \
