Terrain Park Signage
Terrain Park signage features the orange oval. When you see this, you know that the trail you are about to enter features a terrain park. Some ski areas will also list the size of the features you can expect to find in that park.
XS (extra small) parks are a great place to start. Other park sizes are S (small), M (medium), L (large) and XL (extra large). Whether you’re new to the park or looking to learn a new trick, we encourage you to book a park-specific lesson. Start small and work your way up.
