Whistler's Terrain Parks

Be a part of Whistler's freestyle culture and master your tricks in the great terrain parks. Blackcomb Mountain has three parks, one Super Pipe and one Snow Cross Track while Whistler Mountain has two parks. Each park is designed for specific skill levels so you should start in the beginner park before progressing if you are new to Parks and Pipes. The brand new PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola makes it super easy to get back and forth between the two mountains, so once you've mastered the Terrain Garden on Blackcomb, head over to Whistler's Habitat Terrain Park and show off your jib skills.

Spring and Summer Parks and Pipes

Whistler's Habitat Terrain Park closes for the season on April 18, 2010 but Blackcomb's terrain parks remain open through the spring, until May 24, 2010. Winter Highest Level Park passes are honoured and a reduced rate Spring HL Park pass can be purchased; helmets are mandatory. Blackcomb's summer glacier skiing and riding begins on June 19, 2010, featuring a Summer Terrain Park with rails, hits and a Super Pipe. The summer pipe is cut nightly with the Zaugg Pipe Monster and the Park Bully maintains features.

Check out the wide variety of summer freestyle camps that take place on Blackcomb's Horstman Glacier from June 19 to July 25, 2010.

Terrain Garden: Blackcomb Mountain

Designed for skiers and riders learning how to use park features, the Terrain Garden is the first stop in the park progression. 3,116 feet long, with a 574-foot vertical drop, it features smaller versions of rails, rollers and mini-hits and is groomed nightly.

Habitat Terrain Park: Whistler Mountain

Three separate runs with Park features, the Habitat Park is more than 1,100 feet long with a vertical drop of 600 feet. A step up from the Terrain Garden, Park riders can work their way through various sized features on all three runs. The Habitat Park features enhanced rollers, hips and table tops. All Habitat Park lines have low to mid range jibs and rails such as fun boxes, rainbows, flat and step down rails. The Habitat Park is a great place for experienced park riders to improve their skills on the progressively shaped hits and rails in each park line.

Nintendo Terrain Park: Blackcomb Mountain

This main park runs 3,480 feet in length with a vertical drop of 1,007 feet. It includes table tops, hip jumps, spines, step-up jumps, banks, rails, and fun boxes. The Gamecube Park is the stepping stone into the Highest Level Park in the progressive parks scale.

Super Pipe: Blackcomb Mountain

They don't call it the Super Pipe without good reason: over 450 feet long, it has a 17 foot radius, a wall height of 16.5 feet, a 64 foot width from lip to lip and a flat bottom 33 feet wide. Groomed nightly with the Zaugg Pipe Monster, the pipe is for advanced to expert park riders only and is home to exciting events all season long.

Snow Cross Track: Blackcomb Mountain

Now that Snowboard and Ski Cross are recognized winter Olympic disciplines, the Snow Cross track provides a daily training ground for aspiring athletes. Big banks, rollers and step-ups challenge skiers and riders daily and are tweaked up for event days. Set a personal time to beat or race your buddies, the Snow Cross is a great place to improve high speed skills.

Highest Level: Blackcomb Mountain

The Highest Level is for expert park skiers and riders only. With impressive specs - 1,720 feet long and a 485 foot vertical drop - the park features include the biggest and most technical table tops, spines, rails and jibs, and is groomed nightly by the Park Bully snow cat.
