The Alpine slide is exactly what you'd expect from a place that built one of the most exciting Olympic sliding tracks in the world.
First off, we chose the best stainless steel construction. It

's smooth, comfortable and looks really cool. Then we made sure all the straight-aways, drops and 18 banked turns fit perfectly into the scenic mountainside, just like our Olympic sliding track.
To honor other sliding tracks from around the world, we added a 'kreisel' feature - a 300 degree sweeping turn at the end of the run.
And since we wanted the ride to be fun for everyone, we added easily controllable sleds to allow riders - including kids - to go as fast or slow as they want.

pest zipline in the world.
Your ride starts at the edge the K120 jump, at which point the force of gravity takes over and propels you to 50 mph, which is fairly close to the speeds of world-class ski jumpers. There are even two Xtreme ziplines, so you can fly alongside a jumping partner for the whole ride.
We also have a tamer and more kid-friendly Ultra zipline to try before stepping up to the big one. The Ultra Zipline is bit shorter and less steep, but still a lot of fun. Perfect for younger kids or adults who want to buzz over our Freestyle Jumps.
There is no age limit, but there is a weight limit of 100-275 pound for the Xtreme and 50-275 for the Ultra.
