Park Verification

Freestyle Terrain is now a part of our mountain resort culture and our profession. Our intention is to best utilize our resorts’ freestyle terrain to increase participation and enjoyment of our sports. Instructors in uniform (whether teaching or not) are required to have the appropriate Park Pass before entering any Freestyle Terrain. Follow all guidelines and SMART Style when utilizing a terrain park or feature independently or with your students. Your park credential sticker must be clearly displayed on the back of your helmet while using the park in uniform. No ride-through access to observe is allowed without supervisory approval.

Freestyle Terrain Areas are designated with an orange oval and may contain jumps, hits, ramps, banks, fun boxes, jibs, rails, half pipes, quarter pipes, snow-cross, bump terrain and other constructed or natural terrain features. Prior to using Freestyle Terrain, you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with Freestyle Terrain and obeying all instructions, warnings and signs. Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground, and in the air. Use of Freestyle Terrain exposes you to the risk of serious injury. Below are several guidelines for using the Terrain Parks:

  • Pre-Ride, Re-Ride, Free-Ride: Take an inspection run through the park with your class in order to understand the layout of the park and check for hazards.

  • Inverted Aerials are not allowed while working.

  • Enter and exit parks only at the open gates.

  • No off-axis tricks are allowed when working.

  • The head does not go below the feet when performing tricks and maneuvers while in uniform or when working.
