Ep 5 – Viva La Resistance: The Terrain Park Controversy at Falls Creek
A passionate local response to Falls Creek’s missing terrain parks sparked hundreds of comments, a community-wide movement, and an official response from Vail Resorts. In this episode, we unpack how social media, nostalgia, and mountain culture collided to bring the parks—and the stoke—back into focus.
Falls Creek terrain parks were once the stuff of legends—progressive, community-driven, and filled with memories. But in 2025, the parks were missing in action... until the people spoke up. In this episode, hosts Matty and Austin sit down with longtime Falls local and snow industry all-rounder Kean Hudon to discuss the recent backlash on social media, what sparked it, and how the community rallied with passion and purpose. We unpack the power of social pressure, the importance of parks for progression and mental health, and what this means for the future of Falls Creek. Spoiler: it involves a longneck, a revolution, and a promise from Vail.
