Terrain Park

From barrel rolls to 1080’s, Vail’s four terrain parks are the place to perfect in-flight tricks and park navigation skills. All parks have been named this year with an aviation theme. The mile-long Fly Zone Terrain Park at Golden Peak contains the Superpipe, pro-style jumps, rails and hits, the jib park and is home to the Honda Session snowboard invitational in January. Flight School is ski school’s teaching park located adjacent to the Fly Zone and offers skill-building features. Aviator Park is located on Bwana trail under the Gondola in LionsHead and features a combination of small and medium hits, rails and boxes designed for freestyle progression. New this year, Vail is adding a half pipe with 13-foot/4 meter walls in the Aviator. Sky Way Park is located at nearly 11,000 feet/3352 meters on Hunky Dory trail and includes “ground low” boxes, rails and mini hits intended for those starting out. The dedicated park crew has developed a recipe of creativity, user-friendliness, safety and fun in order to offer broader appeal and a better quality experience for all users.

Skier and Rider Safety

Vail Mountain sets the industry standard when it comes to skier and snowboarder safety. This spring the National Ski Areas Association awarded the resort its eighth Best Overall Skier Safety Award, recognizing Vail’s commitment to educating employees, locals and guests about the “rules of the road” and raising awareness about personal responsibility on the slopes.
