Located at the Spruce Peak base area of the Stowe Ski area
it consists of a 24' wide vert ramp, 11' tall with way too
little flat, a 24' wide spine ramp (one side 7' tall, the
other 6' tall), a pretty large outdoor street course that
slants down hill, a small asphault bowl and a downhill
racing course designed for inliners but is fun nonetheless
because it has several rollers that can be ollied off of.
The park is open from whenever the snow melts in the
spring until Columbus day. Pads and helmets are required.
Costs around $7.

Des Moines Public Skatepark
Des Moines, WA
Free, concrete and no pads. The best thing it has is the
funbox. It's a standard eight sided bank design but with a
little tranny at the base and at the lip making it extra
fast and poppy. On one whole side of the park is a tight
four foot wall that is pretty weird. On the opposite side
there is a three foot wedge in one corner and a right
angle two foot trannyed platform which is smooth. Also
there is a marble edged platform and a small table top on
the other two sides. Directions: South on SR 99 from
Seattle, pass the airport and follow the signs to Des
Moines You'll start on Des Moines Memorial Dr.. Follow
this until you get to a real busy intersection and hang a
left. Just after you get through the intersection (
approx. 2 blocks). Make a left on 11th. Then go up a hill
about 4 blocks and you'll see it on your right hand side
at the top of the street. Look for the water tower.

joins up with a spine and 90 degree hip. The larger mini-
ramp is 6 feet tall and 32 feet wide. From Interstate 5

ways then you'll hit Fur St. Go Right. About 1 mile up is
the Baker View Park on your left. Pull in there and you

couple of good size boxes on either end that vary between
