I think that place is the DC "Mountain Lab"...

The DC Mountain Lab is a private snowboard park in Park City, Utah, known as a research and development center. The property is taken up mostly by the snowboard park, but there is also a house there. It is owned and operated by DC resident and co founder Ken Block]. The 22 acres (89,000 m2) are home to kickers, boxes,butters and rails galore. The Lab has its own snowcat for building jumps and grooming the park. It also has 8 snowmobiles and a handful of dirt bikes. The Mountain Lab was the location of the snowboard video MTN. Lab and MTN. Lab 1.5. It also serves as a second home for DC co-owner and founder Ken Block and his family.

The Mountain Lab features many possible activities. The snowboard park that composes the front yard is the main feature, but house guests can also try their hand at skeet shooting, ping-pong, DJing, and playing video games on the custom Mountain Lab Xbox, and admiring Ken Block’s vintage snowboard collection. The collection features snowboards from all eras of snowboarding, spanning from the very start to the present cutting-edge boards. The snowboarders don’t have to ride only park if they don’t want to, they can take some of the snowmobiles into the backcountry and ride powder, or ride powder in the parts of the Mountain Lab that haven’t been, or can’t be, groomed.

The Mountain Lab has many custom-made features that were made specifically for the Mountain Lab by Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson and the Snow Park team, a renowned team of snowboard park designers. Signature features include a box that runs through the living room of the house, a wallride at the end of the run, a staircase complete with handrails, a large pink disarmed missile, and two road gaps set up in a line. More traditional features include a down rail, a down flat down rail, a large C rail, a hollow trailer that houses a jump, various flat boxes, a tabletop jump, and a hip transfer.

The Mountain Lab is located in the Wasatch mountains near Park City, Utah.

The only way to be able to visit the Mountain Lab is to be invited. The other way is very rare: to win a contest in which the prize is to be able to visit the Mountain Lab.

That's awesome. About 200 feet from where he passes the Deer Valley wanks I cracked my transmission case in my Daytona. Guardsman Pass and that car never liked eachother much. Used to start the snowboarding season there with first snow in October. Going back in a month.

We had a ton of snow in PC last April. I have spent some time at the lab and the place is definately cool as hell. DC leases it from Ken since Quick owns DC now. Guardsmans Pass is a pretty fun rd. to rally the buggy on during the spring/summer time as well. Lots of good single track to moto up that way too.
