Snowmass features terrain parks and features for every ability level—from first-timers to X Games gold medalists. With over 100 unique features spread across multiple terrain parks, Snowmass offers something for riders of all abilities to explore, challenge themselves, and have fun. Whether you’re new to the park or an experienced rider, knowing some basic park rules—both official and unofficial—will help make your time on the slopes enjoyable and safe.
For those just starting out, Low Down Park is the perfect place to build confidence and get comfortable with park features. This park includes beginner-friendly rails, a mini-pipe, and small, approachable jumps. There’s plenty of space to cruise around the features, letting you scope them out before hitting them. Even experienced riders can enjoy Low Down Park to refine their skills in a less intimidating environment before stepping up to bigger features.
For more experienced riders, Makaha Park offers a mix of medium-sized jumps and taller, longer rail features. It’s a great spot for progressing your skills, whether you’re working on your style or perfecting your tricks. Take a few laps or spend the day dialing in your park game.
The real deal. Snowmass Park is where the advanced and expert riders come to play. This park features approximately 50 advanced and expert-level features, including the famous 22-foot Snowmass Superpipe, cut by a Zaugg every night. Riders will find a variety of features ranging from flat boxes and rails to down-flat-downs, combos, bonks, wall rides, staircases, and a host of new jibs each season. Whether you’re looking to dial in your pipe skills or test your limits on massive features, Snowmass Park is where the pros ride.
Before you start shredding the park, it’s important to understand the lay of the land and ride within your ability level. But that’s only part of the equation—safety is key.
For every skier and rider in the park, wearing a helmet is a must. Snowmass takes safety seriously, and we want everyone to be protected. When you’re hitting a rail or launching off a jump, falls can happen, and a helmet helps reduce the risk of injury.
Keep your head on a swivel. Are you stopped in the knuckle or landing zone of a jump where others can’t see you? Are you hanging out on the edge of the pipe while riders are training? Park areas often see more traffic than typical runs, so always be aware of what’s going on around you. Make sure the landing zones are clear before hitting any features, and move out of the way once you’ve completed your run.

The key to progression is building your fundamentals on smaller features first. Focus on mastering the basics before moving on to bigger jumps or rails.
Before jumping into the park, take a lap to get familiar with the features. Our Snowmass park crew is constantly adding and adjusting features, so every day in the park is a little different. Knowing the take-offs, landings, and lines will help you navigate the park more confidently.
Always be aware of your surroundings. For example, have someone check the landing of your jump from the knuckle before you hit it. Once you’ve landed a jump or hit a rail, move away from the landing area to avoid collisions.
The park is for everyone, no matter your age or skill level. Respect other riders and share the space. Don’t cut the line, and be considerate of others who may be working on their own skills. Sometimes a little patience leads to new friends and even new tricks!
There’s no rush in the park. Progress at your own pace and know your limits. Pushing yourself is important but so is taking breaks when your body (or mind) needs one. Safe progression comes from being in tune with your limits and knowing when to step back and rest.
