Even if getting big air involves you taking off, passing out through fright, and still being in

the air when you regain consciousness this guide is for you. Ten parks with thrills for even

the most timid of snowboards, because as the cherry-wine-drinking philosopher Jermaine

Stewart once said, We dont have to put our impact shorts on, to have a good time Or

something like that. Check out our serious recommendations plus funny What Voice-Over

Man Would Say comments below!

2/7



Situated in Eastern California near the world famous Yosemite National Park, Mammoth

Mountain really is, well, Mammoth! A mammoth vertical drop, huge snowfall and the sheersize of the resort all add up to make this one of the best (and biggest!) ski resorts in

California and indeed the US.

3. Nordpark, Austria

Nordpark in Austria (in the Tirol region) is a small ski resort with just 4 ski lifts (2 gondolas,

2 chair lifts) but it does boast a very impressive 1400 metres (4595 feet) of vertical

descent. Nordpark has 14 kilometers (9 miles) of pistes. We have no information about the

existence of any cross country ski trails at Nordpark.

4. Laax, Switzerland


3/7



Laax has 28 lifts, which is 21 more than the average for all ski resorts. Its uphill capacity is

42,000 people/hour, which is 33,500 people/hour more than the average.

4/7



Its usually the 5,000 acres of terrain and the Back Bowls that gets everybodys attention

at Vail. But wed like to suggest dropping in at Vails Golden Peak, Bwana or Pride terrain

parks to experience awesome, well-kept features and lots of space to attempt knarly

tricks.

6. Keystone Colorado, USA

Theres always buzz around Area 51, Keystones terrain park, that impresses seasoned

boarders, but the park has enough beginner features to ensure you dont have to go big all

at once. A dedicated chair lift means you never have to leave the park.

7. The Portes du Soleid on the Swiss/Frence border


5/7



The Portes du Soleil has 9 snowparks dotted all over the network. With boxes, tables,

walls, a big air superpipe, raised bends, freestyle airbags and rails, theres plenty to keep all

riders smiling.

8. Mayrhofen, Austria

Big area, with some decent freeriding, and maybe the best park in Austria. Has a big British

seasonaire contingent, and the home of Snowbombing and the Altitude festivals.

9. Whistler, Canada

Whistler Blackcomb announces major $18 Million capital expansion for 2013.2014. Lift

expansion includes a new Whistler Mo untain Harmony High-Speed Six-Pack Chairlift and a

new High-Speed Quad Chairlift in Blackcomb Mountains Crystal Zone.

10. Breckenridge Colorado, USA


7/7



With four award-winning terrain parks and a 22' superpipe to choose from, Breckenridge

appeals to up and coming freestylers and seasoned experts alike. Known for having the

best pipes and parks in the world and continually ranked in the top three by industry

leaders, Breckenridge continues to raise the bar in the terrain park arena.
