# Another Stunning day in the Happo Park

Two years back when Happo announced that the  “[High Cascade Snowboard Camp](http://www.akuaplanet.com/park/ "High Cascade Snowboard Park happo")” crew was coming to happo to build and manage a new ski & snowboard park we were obviously very pleased. These guys are some of the best in the business and we knew they`d do it right!

The layout, the shape of the jumps *(no nasty kicks or knuckle ball landings)*, the way they maintenance it *(the park closes from noon till 1:00pm each day so the shapers can work their magic)*, and the location *(with the Northern Alps towering to skier`s left this must be one of the prettiest parks in the world),* all make for maximal fun and minimal aching of the joints.

Not to mention the close proximity to Morino Lodge means you can be board-sliding your first rail or popping your first method 15 minutes after finishing your cappuccino in the Morino Lounge.

The Park is open for the 2010 season until April 11th *(its in use for filming exclusively for Japan`s top pro riders until the 18th – that`ll be fun to watch!)*.  Fortunately there`s a lot more sun in the forecast this coming week, so some tough decisions lie ahead – go for a hike in the backcountry or session the park?
