Terrain Parks

Bogus Basin has a rich history in freestyle and the tradition continues with our THREE terrain parks. Check out our alpine trail maps for reference. Each park offers different lines with varied features for all levels of freestyle skiers and riders. All parks are lighted at night. Check the Grooming Report and snow report page for Terrain Park hours, which are subject to weather and snow conditions.

Sunshine Terrain Park

Beginner/introductory level. Located at the end of Sunshine Cat Track (take a right off the top off of Morningstar Chair #2 and on riders left of the Sunshine run.). This park is built for riders who want to try park features and built for the learning rider. This park features a small 10-15 foot table top jump and 3 different Planet beginner box style rails (flat, rainbow and curved entry flat). This is a beginner park, but park riding is not a beginner activity! Get your turns and stopping skills down first, then come try the park.

Playground Freestyle Terrain Park

Intermediate-advanced level. The entrance is past the top of Deer Point chairlift, just past the Claim Jumper terrain park toward top of Showcase Chair #4. The line changes often but currently consists of a line with a Planet picnic table set as a up box then into a 40' long by 3' wide Planet box followed by a volcano hit with a barrel jib on top. At the end of the playground is a exclusive Planet c- bowl wall ride that has Ski Trax as a riding surface - the only feature of its kind here in the west! This feature has many different options of ways to be hit.

Claim Jumper Terrain Park

This park is geared more toward the intermediate to advanced rider. The entrance to this terrain park is below the Deer Point #1 Chair unloading area, you can see it from the chairlift. The park has a line of 4 features starting off with Planet SnowTools exclusive X box rail that flows into a double takeoff option step down tabletop jump with a 30 foot and 40 foot takeoff option. Next in the line is a regular style tabletop with a 25 and 40 foot takeoff option followed by a 28 foot up Planet Snowtools flat bar.

Freestyle Terrain is becoming more popular at resorts and proper use is important. The National Ski Areas Association and Burton Snowboards have developed the "Smart Style" Freestyle Terrain Safety initiative, a cooperative effort to continue the proper use and progression of freestyle terrain at mountain resorts, while also delivering a unified message that is clear, concise, and effective.

Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings
Scope around the jumps first not over them
Use your first run as a warm up run and to familiarize yourself with the terrain
Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming and time of day
Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary
Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level
Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way up
Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air
Do not attempt any features unless you have sufficient ability and experience to do so safely
Inverted aerials increase your risk of injury and are not allowed at Bogus Basin Mountain
Respect the terrain and others (Freestyle terrain is for everyone regardless of equipment or ability)
One person on a feature at a time
Wait your turn and call your start
Always clear the landing area quickly
Respect all signs and stay off closed terrain and features
