You know freestyle skiing and riding requires imagination, creativity and innovation. We believe those same skills are necessary when you design and build terrain parks. We kept this in mind when we began to look at this season's terrain parks. We kept what worked, trashed what didn't and came up with some exciting changes that raise the bar, pushing the boudaries of where terrain parks can go!
New for this season is an expanded rail garden on Betwixt and Beeline giving you more terrain and freedom to jib. We've also moved our expert park from Suntanner to Byrneside, but rest assured you'll still find many of your favorite monster features. And perhaps the two most exciting changes this year are the addition of an 18 foot superpipe on Sunriser Supertrail and the construction of natural features in Emerald Forest, just off Hemlock. Consider it freestlye au natural.
And for skiers and riders of all ages and abilities we have designed a network of terrain parks centered on the idea of progression. Inexperienced freestylers can try their first trick in our Learn to Freestlye park, Parkway, before moving on to our beginner park on Tyrolienne. After a little practice you can make your way to our medium park on Old Smoothie or our expert park on Byrneside.
As always, the exact features in all our parks is subject to change based on weather and the need to occasionally refresh the layout. Stay posted for updates on our progress and conditions of our parks. In the mean time, dial in that equipment and enjoy!

Byrneside is the flagship of our fleet of terrain parks. It features the largest and most techincal terrain features on the mountain.
Stratton's medium-sized park is located on Old Smoothie and will include larger rails and jumps than Tyrolienne, but will still offer good progression.
Tyrolienne is home to Stratton's small terrain features. One step larger then Parkway, but not quite as big as Smoothie or Byrneside, Tyrolienne offers terrain features such as table-tops and butter boxes to help skiers and riders work on their skills.
