FROM The Highlands >> Full send! What happens when you give @zoe_kalapos the camera? She finds the local park crew and puts them in the spotlight! 🫶 When Zoe was a kid, she learned to ski and ride right here at The Highlands. Her passion and dedication to snowboarding brought her to the 2022 Olympics for women's halfpipe snowboarding! She's an inspiration to our community, and we're so glad she could come visit again this season. Give it up for the park crew🙌👇
