What to Know Before You Hit the Park

Look before you Leap!

Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings. Use your first run as a warm run and to familiarize yourself with the park layout and features

ATML

When first inspecting the jumps consider the following elements of each jump:
A The Approach zone is for setting your speed and stance.
T The Take-off zone is for making moves that start your trick.
M The Maneuver zone is for controlling your style.
L The Landing Zone is for getting straight and riding away clean.

Remember that the features change constantly due to weather, usage and time of day so it is important to continue to inspect features throughout the day.

Easy Style It

  • Know your limits and ride within your ability.
  • When starting out, look for small progression parks and features and then work your way up to intermediate or advanced parks and features. Freestyle Terrain comes in different sizes so make sure and start small and work your way up before going into larger parks.
  • Stay in control both on the ground and in the air.
  • Remember you can control how big or small you take the feature by varying speed and take off.
  • Inverted aerials increase the chance of serious injury and are not recommended.

Respect Gets Respect

  • Respect the terrain and all others.
  • One person on a feature at a time.
  • Wait your turn and call your drop-in.
  • Always clear the landing area quickly.
  • Respect all signs and stay off closed features.
  • You Are In Control
  • Don’t get in the backseat
  • Control your speed
  • Land on your feet
  • Remember that respect is important both in the park, and at the rest of the resort. Please make good decisions when you are heading down the mountain and save your best tricks for the park.
