Since 2003, Cutter’s Camp has fostered an open dialogue between terrain park managers, staff, industry experts, and suppliers from around the world. The week-long spring program for terrain park professionals features on-hill and classroom workshops, with a continued focus on the business of terrain parks, risk management, design/build, and much more. Plus, on-hill, one-on-one coaching and demos of the latest machines, snow, and park management systems.

“I have been fortunate enough to be a participant, a host, and a panelist at various times over the past 20 years, and I would not be where I am today without those experiences. Cutter’s Camp is the one spot in North America where the beginners and the pros and everyone in between come together to understand where we are, where we came from, and where we are going in the park industry.”

— Brian Norton, President & GM, Loon Mountain, N.H.
