Snowboard Mag picked up on this too but we just got sent some photos of that indoor Burton park in China that we mentioned a week or so ago. Beijing, the city hosting the 2008 Olympic Games in September, unveiled their brand new indoor terrain park in the Qiaobo Ice and Snow World just outside of Beijing. The giant refrigerated snow dome which is temperature controlled to -1, ideal riding for the two-hour jam format contest held by Burton. The park, designed by Mellow Parks, Head Shaper Marco Huang, has something for everyone. Inspired by what he has ridden overseas and seen in the videos, Marco tried to bring in elements that will be fun for all levels of riding. Check out the photos, there is this Chinese guy absolutely ripping!
