Terrain parks
From Free net encyclopedia
A terrain park is an outdoor area that contains jumps and half-pipes that allow snowboarders and skiers to do tricks.
Jumps in terrain parks can range from five feet to ninety feet, but not all resorts would have those size jumps. Terrain parks also have rails and boxes to slide, also called jibbing. These rails and boxes have many different shapes and sizes, from straight ones, sloped ones, curved ones, kinked ones, the possiblities are expansive.
