Top Ten Terrain Park Mountains
We ranked our favorite terrain park mountains based on the number of
available
terrain parks reserved for boarders with half pipes, boxes and jump formations, rails, ...

1) Keystone Colorado (US)
|
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.

3) Mammoth Mountain California (US)
|
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.
See our review of Mammoth Mountain for more information.
