Terrain Parks

Beginners/First Time skiers and riders can start at either of the two entry level terrain parks,Trygves and Eldorado. Located at the base of Peak 8 and 9 these parks feature small rail and jump features as well as entry level half pipes. Jump, Rail and jib features are kept low to the ground to minimize risk while maximizing progression. These terrain parks are well laid out and very family appropriate.

Park Lane will feature 3,500 feet of jumps and rails.To accomplish this, the ski resort has Locating Park Lane next to Freeway and near Peak 8's beginner parks, Breckenridge has organized a multi-level Pod Park. This offers difficulty levels that allow skiers and rides to gradually build confidence as they transition from one park level to the next. Park Lane will replace the Gold King and Country terrain parks, formerly located on Peak 9. Gold Kings intermediate half pipe will relocate to Country Boy, providing a somewhat hidden place for freestylers to dial in new tricks before taking them to the super pipe.
