This FROZEN WAVE PARK MARUNUM is celebrating its third season this season. Produced by Taro Tamai of GENTEMSTICK, it is a terrain park where banks made of snow spread like waves.It is also a feature that anyone who can freely slide the beginner-intermediate course can enjoy it according to their own level.There are innumerable sliding lines on the well-thought-out terrain, and it is interesting to be free to draw which line to stir up the imagination of the slipper.

Hayato Maruyama, also a GENEMSTICK rider who has produced 3D terrain events such as THE WAL and HAPPO BANKS and the park in the past, is actually involved in the construction work of the park.It goes without saying that the park created by him, who has been the driving force behind the bank movement, has the finest 3D terrain.

Every season, Hayato Maruyama plays a central role in creating the park.

This park is evolving while making small improvements every year.In this term, we focused on the feeling of slipping more, fine-tuned the shape of the bottom, and made the height of the lip more constant than before, so it seems that the degree of freedom of the slipper was more important.A number of artificial 3D banks that can be said to be works of art, with the fun of sliding first. FROZEN WAVE PARK MARUNUMA is a park where you can really help improve your skiing and enjoy the comfort and pleasure of free riding while imagining the skiing lines.

Also, let's add that the snow park is also open.Marunuma Snow Park is divided into areas according to genre and level, so beginners to experts can enjoy it.This season is also produced by Toru Ishiyama, who is familiar with FREE RUN, so the layout is definitely correct, and there are many types of kickers and unique jib items installed.There is a lift dedicated to the park, so you can practice while turning it many times, and it's nice to be able to check the riding of advanced players.
