The Blade Dive, Episode 32 - We are joined by Pennsylvania native , Kristin Lenart. Lenart grew up stoked on exploring everything and anything that was an outdoor activity in the surrounding area and skiing quickly became an obsession. Lenart has built Terrain Parks for Bear Creek, Blue Mountain and June Mountain. Lenart is also a professional Mountain Bike Racer and the excavator is her machine of choice.
Kristin Lenart would take an interest in machines later in life, but prior to that, gravitated towards welding fabrication and would earn her certification. Lenart also pursued structural auto body school and upon graduating worked on cars prior to diving into the Terrain Park world.
Since being a Terrain Park Manager, Kristin has been West and worked in California at June Mountain. From that experience came the realization that you can’t run from your problems. Moving back east and landing at Blue Mountain allowed Lenart to achieve a future she was interested in creating.
Episode 31 is a deep dive conversation. The operator in the Virtual Booth is a professional, authentic and is supported as well as respected by the mountain she works for. We discuss the ratio of male to female park managers, Bike Park trail construction as well as the progression of Bike Park resort guests. We talk about the practice of being pragmatic as well as the fun of June Mountain.
Enjoy... and if you're in the machine, go ahead and TURN THE VOLUME UP!
