We ranked our favorite terrain park mountains based on the size
and number of available
terrain parks reserved for boarders with half pipes, boxes and jump formations, rails, ... These are the ski resorts with the best terrain parks.
Check out A51 terrain park and the Main Street jump line. Keystone has more jumps, features and unique features than I have seen at any other mountain.
Keystone also has feature zones dedicated to beginners and intermediates so one does not have to go big all at once.
Two terrain parks: Crazy T'rain (with superpipe) and S3 as well as rails and features spread about the mountain.
At times it feels like the entire mountain is a terrain park.
Buttermilk is the site of the annual X-Games and has continually improved and expanded its terrain parks to earn this rank.
Head over to the Union Creek lift to check out the terrain park "Central Park".
This park includes medium and large sized features and jumps and is constructed in cooperation with "Woodward at Copper", the extreme sports training facility also located at Copper Mountain.
Many Pros and Olympians have got their start at Woodward and at this terrain park.
Woodward also runs a ski and snowboard early summer camp to train kids.
Beginners should head over to the Alliroo Alley terrain park accessible from the top of the American Flyer lift as it has smaller and less intimidating features and jumps.
Copper also has a large "Superpipe" located just above the Center Village.
Multiple terrain parks with half pipes, rails, jumps both large and small.
Mammoth has invested in half pipe shaping equipment to provide shape consistency.
I personally enjoy the heavy metal tunes provided over a speaker system at each of the terrain parks. Some line-ups occur at the jumps.
