CONTRACTS » Vancouver 2010 Olympics
SUB CONTRACTOR TO ARENA SNOWPARKSJohn from Development Snowparks was asked to be the sub contractor to the main contractor Arena Snowparks for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic half pipe build. John was a key part of the Arena Snowparks crew that constructed the entire half pipe venue as well as maintaining and shaping the pipe before and during the event.
The crew faced some extremely hard and mixed conditions in the lead up to the games what with the warmest temperatures on record in the Vancouver area, a lot of rain and lack of snow but amazingly they overcame it all and produced a superior pipe that is testimate to the crews combined knowledge and experience.
Comments from Transworld Snowboarding
'The biggest miracle of the night was something that you might have taken for granted—the pipe itself. Arena Snowparks led by Steve Petrie and his staff had easily the hardest job at these Olympic games, and it was nothing but experience, perseverance, (a lot of money and trucked and flown in snow), and hard work that made an Olympic quality pipe.'
