COPPER MOUNTAIN \u2014 Woodward Copper on Monday announced a reimagining<\/a> of its winter skiing and snowboarding terrain at Copper Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Woodward Mountain Park at Copper<\/a> will be a network of featured terrain zones that \u201ctogether offer a balanced variety of exciting on-mountain experiences for all ages and abilities,\u201d according to Woodward representatives.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Park\u2019s zones \u2014 which dot terrain from Center to West villages \u2014 will range in accessibility, difficulty and offerings. The zones will range \u201cfrom learning zones, large freestyle zones and everything in between,\u201d according to Woodward.<\/p>\n

That includes two zones inspired by U.S. pro snowboarders Danny Davis and Red Gerard.<\/p>\n

Red\u2019s Backyard<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the announcement, Woodward officials detailed the new terrain park zone inspired by Gerard, an Olympic gold medalist<\/a> from Silverthorne.<\/p>\n

Gerard, 19, grew up snowboarding with his free-riding family and friends on a homemade rope tow on a slope at their Summit County home<\/a>. He won an Olympic gold medal in slopestyle in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018.<\/p>\n

Copper\u2019s new Red\u2019s Backyard terrain zone, a short hike from Center Village, will pay homage to the actual backyard<\/a> with rails of varying difficulty and a rope tow powered by an old 50cc dirt bike.<\/p>\n
