The O Park — The Greatest Show on Earth
The Otsego Club in Gaylord has seen millions of dollars of improvements in recent years, including a new 22-foot Super Pipe that was created by Planet Snow Design, the world’s leading designer and builder of snowboard facilities. Ryan Neptune, owner and president of Planet Snow, along with Mike Langdon, the company’s park builder, reflect on their experiences in Michigan, the growing popularity of snowboarding, their working relationship with Brighton-based Osprey, which owns the Otsego Club, and the Olympic medal hopefuls from around the world who will training at what’s now called the O Park in preparation for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in mid-February.
