| Winter Park Boarding & Freestyle |
Aside from avoiding the massive bumps on Mary Jane, most of the
mountain is very user friendly for boarders except for Wagon Train and
Big Valley trails.

| Wagon Train and Big Valley are both relatively flat trails with long
runouts and snowboarders should avoid them or get up some
speed going before moving onto these trails.
Winter park has three terrain parks for differing abilities. If
you're only just starting out try the Discovery Park for rollers and
smaller jumps, then you can progress to the Jack Kendrick Park to
practice new tricks. For advanced riders there is the Rail Yard Terrain
Park, the masterpiece and handiwork of top local riders and
free-skiers.
On other tip worth mentioning is that the Ski Corridor Trail that connects the Mary Jane base with the Winter Park base (Green - Beginner Trail) is an easy cruiser but flattens out as it approaches the the bottom of Brian's Run and the Winter Park base. Keep your speed up or you'll be schlepping your board a ways to get over to the Zephyr lift.

STARTER PARK & BOUNCER : SMALL
Starter Park is the place to START riding
rails. Starter Park rails are wide and low to give first-time skiers or
riders no excuse but to try them out. Nervous about attempting rails
in the past? We have made these rails as friendly as metal and
plastic can be. Enjoy!

| GANGWAY : MEDIUM
Gangway? Never heard of this park? Perhaps not, but in
the past you have probably hit this park on the way down from Ash
Cat, back to the lift. It is under the Prospector Lift and includes a
few fun features and jibs that are more fun than riding down lower
Kendrick through the first-timers.
