If you're trying out the park for the first time or are not familiar with it, start practicing with these items!
This park can be used by hiking up.
Terrain play freeride park
This is a new type of Snow Park where you can freely enjoy side hips, waves, banks and other features that make use of the terrain. There are endless ways to play! Enjoy freestyle riding on Chairlift.

It has kickers for intermediate and advanced skiers that are more difficult than those at Step Up Park. It is recommended for those who want to further improve their skills.
The size gives you a sense of floating and is perfect for practicing tricks. Be sure to give it a try once you've graduated from Step Up Park.
