The Land of Sacred Powder – 346 Inches on Average
Combine that with 300 days of sunshine a year and you’ve got perfect conditions.  With seven colossal bowls, tons of cliffs and a grip of secret stashes and hits, the entire mountain is a playground.  And for all you park junkies, there are now four terrain parks and a flawless superpipe.

Golden Peak Terrain Park Highlights
The upper-Golden Peak superpipe and park is moving East for a continuous flowing top-to-bottom park.  Pros and local riders alike continuously praise the Vail Superpipe. Pipe riders find the 17' to 23-foot walls that are 70 feet wide a challenge, while the nightly grooming and Zaugg Pipe Monster assures consistency.

A variety of medium to larger jibs, rails and hits are scattered throughout the park each designed to flow into the next section. The Jib Park is like a "park within the park", riders can spend a day sliding and hiking all different kinds of rails and jibs. It is the ultimate hangout for park rats.

Multiple take-offs and landings, some with rail options, make the jump sections as challenging as you want them.  High-speed quad access from the Golden Peak base area guarantees a quick, comfy ride back to the top. The smooth flowing design of the features and dedicated lift makes lapping a cinch.

Mule Skinner and Bwana Terrain Parks
These parks feature small hits and rails - great for learning the basics of freestyle progression or trying a new trick. Mule Skinner can be accessed from the Riva Bahn Express (Chair 6), one trail over from the Golden Peak Park.  Bwana can be found under the Eagle Bahn Gondola (Lift 19) above LionsHead.

Hunky Dory Park
A beginner park featuring 10 new rails and boxes, roughly 800 feet long.
