Terrain Parks

Ultimately, if you go to any big resort in the World to go snowboarding or skiing, there will be a “terrain park” which is just a big area full of different features like rails, boxes, rail gardens, halfpipes, jump and side hits. All of these different features come together to give a playground to snowboarders and skiers to get good and jumping and grinding in their respective disciplines. From resort to resort, the location of the terrain park on the mountain varies and is normally completely unique from others.

Terrain parks are extremely popular now and will make up for a lot of the mountain’s activities, but it used to not be like that. Skiers actually invented the terrain park to segregate snowboarders off the slopes of the mountain because they were too “reckless” and “out of control”. In turn they built terrain parks to move more snowboarders off the slopes and onto supervised recklessness. Well that turned out to change the way resorts are and now terrain parks can be the main attraction for some mountains. As I said earlier, most terrain parks are unique and they are changed daily to keep riders on their toes and trying new stuff!
