Take A Peek At Massive Snowboarding Ramp Inside Fenway Park

BOSTON (CBS) -- Fenway Park has played host to many different sporting events over the years, but America's oldest ballpark has never seen anything like this.

The clock is ticking down to Big Air at Fenway, a two-day event featuring snowboarding and freeskiing big air competitions taking place on Feb. 11 and 12.

And as you'd expect, building a massive, 140-foot ramp takes some time, so construction has been underway at Fenway.

Check out some photos of the progress below, courtesy of the Red Sox and @FenwayPark.
