Riglet Park is Burton's new concept for teaching snowboarding to kids ages three to six. What's a "Riglet?" you may ask. It's a retractable reel that attaches to specially designed boards so that the rider can be pulled by the teacher. The boards are short, soft, and convex with raised edges and the idea is to start young kids off having fun from the first day, and learning snowboard basic skills in a tiny terrain park with a mini-pipe, sunken box, and limbo bar, at Moujnt Snow

Mount Snow Riglet Park Director Brennan Cofiell (who also has a law degree!) gives us a tour of the new Burton Riglet Park snowboard teaching area in February, 2013, and then we watch some Riglets in action.

Super nice guy Nick Goepper explains his winning runs that brought him the gold in X Games 2013 Ski Slopestyle, as we interview him at Mount Snow, VT, along with Carinthia Park Manager Day Franzen. Mount Snow was the site of Goepper's first contest win, back when he was 14 years old.

ESPN reported: "Goepper's technical mastery was evident at all points through his run. His rail sections were clean and varied, and he spun all four ways -- forward and switch, right and left -- on his jumps: double cork 1080, rightside double cork 1260 tail, switch left double cork 1080 Japan, switch double misty 1260."
So that's what you call them!

Filmed Novermber 18, 2012. Killington Mountain has snow and is open for skiing and snowboarding. Here's a little taste!

Top to bottom skiing and riding at Killington, with the K-1 Express Gondola and 4 chairlifts open. Beginners should check conditions before making plans, more snow will mean groomed trails and less bumps.

Killington was the first mountain resort in the Northeast to open for the second year in a row, offering season pass and Express Card holders the chance to get on snow on October 13 and 14th this season for "Pass holder Appreciation Weekend."

Make a bid and help those in need. A portion of the proceeds will go directly to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to help begin rebuilding communities.
