We put a lot of time and effort into making the best progressive terrain parks in the state of Montana. The Fishbowl has a dedicated chair lift if you want to take park laps, or it is accessible from almost anywhere on the mountain via Home Again ski run.

This is how we do it...

4000 Man Hours from our dedicated Terrain Park crew. Every day, crew members rake, design and maintain features.
Just shy of 1000 Cat Hours in building and maintenance of park features. That means we groom the parks every night all season long.
Endless amounts of thoughts and dreams in its design... well, a lot anyway.
Ten Terrain Park/Freestyle events with 1800 Man Hours from our events staff to make them the best around.
$25,000+ of sponsorship product and cash to support events.

We have 3 terrain parks for your shredding pleasure. This is so we have something for everyone, and so you don't "break yourself off" trying to use park features that you are not ready for. Remember, always start small and work your way up. It's just like real life, you gotta crawl before you walk.

Multiple smaller boxes, rails and jumps give you the chance to practice your skills in freestyle terrain. You can lap the park via chair 3, or session features all day long as you work on that new trick.

This is our bread and butter park. There is sick flow through this park as you can hit up to 10 features on one run. Three jumps with multiple take-offs, a packed rail garden and some other creative features will keep you shredding through the day.

This really is only one big ol' jump. Usually we get this feature up and riding by early February, so use the early season to hone your skills in our other parks before attempting the largest jump in the state of Montana. As always, start small and work your way up before using this feature.

Here are all the jibs you will find in our parks. Of course, you could set up a pair of shoes to be a 'Large' feature if you gap huge on and off, but this is a general breakdown by size or difficulty.
