Timberline maintains multiple terrain parks throughout the year. Timberline was a freestyle leader from the start; Palmer Snowfield was a testing ground for many of the types of features now seen in freestyle terrain parks around the globe.
Our Schoolyard Park is a cookie cutter beginner park. It's tucked away from the crowds and very spread out to encourage hiking the rails and learning tricks. It has been slightly expanded to include some terrain based learning a few rollers, banks, and terrain variations kept on the trail right next to the Schoolyard Park.
Thunder Park is built with 8-10 rails plus two jumps in the lower section. Thunder's jumps are in a new location, which allows some room to put rail features next to them. Conway's and Blossom Parks feature jump lines. Blossom's three jumps are a progression from small jumps to Conway's larger jumps.
As the winter season transitions to spring, Timberline's terrain parks crew works at collecting as much snow possible to ramp up the existing parks and add a couple more. Our Paintbrush Flow Park, reminiscent of a concrete skate park, is full of transitional snow features. Spraypaint jump line also debuts in the spring, featuring our largest jumps on hill. The upper jump links with the lower jump utilizing a high speed snow feature.
During the summer months, our freestyle terrain parks move up the mountain to follow the snowpack. In the early to mid summer, we build a park in what’s known as the Mile Canyon that is accessible via our Magic Mile Chairlift. Later in the summer, we move again up to the Palmer snowfield to open the Freestyle Training Center (for more info on the FTC, keep scrolling). Please observe all posted signage, and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask a member of our staff.
Freestyle Terrain may contain jumps, hits, ramps, banks, fun boxes, jibs, rails, halfpipes, quarterpipes, snowcross, bump terrain and other constructed or natural terrain features. PRIOR to using Freestyle Terrain, you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with Freestyle Terrain and obeying all instructions, warnings and signs. Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground, and in the air. Stay educated on all safety information and spread the knowledge.
