Snowboarding@Blue - Parks n' Pipes
Whether it's snowboarding, free skiing or just
hanging out with friends, Badlands Terrain Park is your home base! Did
you know that SKIER (Snowboard Canada's freeski publication) Magazine
listed Blue Mountain's BADLANDS TERRAIN PARK as a "Beast of the East"
and that Freeskier Magazine named Badlands the 8th Best Terrain Park in
Eastern North America?
Badlands Terrain Park boasts not one but TWO
SUPERPIPES and is serviced by its own chairlift which operates 7 days a
week. We are also home to some of the east coasts BEST rails. New
additions to the park this year include the monster rails from last
years Triple Challenge Pro Rail Jam - a giant white high bar, a huge 35
foot flat box and a massive swing set that has been dubbed EXPO.
These are just 3 of the many rails that you can
find in Badlands. Last winter, Blue's selection of HUGE booters brought
some of Whistler best park riders out to check out what the hype was all
about. A 70 foot Big Air jump was the biggest hit Blue Mountain had ever
seen and helped make the Big Air competition of the Triple Challenge an
unbelievable success!
If you’re new to the terrain park, never fear –
Blue is putting an emphasis on learning and progression! With two
additional freestyle terrains, Greatest Hits and Hell’s Half Acre, Blue
Mountain is the ideal place to learn. Small jumps and ride-on/ride-off
rails will be featured in the Greatest Hits Terrain Park on the south
end of the mountain.
There is always something happening at Blue.
Check out the You look Good Tour and the Volcom Peanut Butter and Rail
Jam Tour which both makes stops at Blue this winter, and as always the
Telus
Triple Challenge will rock in March with three days of
intense competition, concerts and parties! For a complete listing of the
events and competitions planned in Badlands this season check out the

Freestyle Terrain Designation
To better align with our industry, Blue Mountain Resort has adopted a
terrain designation program for all of our freestyle terrain areas
such as TELUS Park and Greatest Hits. Because of this, you will see
new signage across the resort pertaining to:
Freestyle Terrain - The purpose for creating the Freestyle Terrain
Signage initiative is to provide our guests with consistent parameters
and current information about our Freestyle Terrain, in order to allow
them to make informed choices.
“Freestyle Terrain” may contain jumps, hits, ramps, embankments, fun
boxes, jibs, rails, half pipes, quarter pipes, snowcross, freestyle
bump terrain and other constructed or natural terrain features.
“Freestyle skills” require maintaining control on the ground and in
the air. PRIOR to using Freestyle Terrain, it is your responsibility
to familiarize yourself with Freestyle Terrain and to obey all
instructions, warnings and the “Alpine Responsibility Code.”
