Terrain Parks Report
We have always committed to doing something for our terrain park skiers and riders in the space where the halfpipe would normally go in The Zone. After moving existing snow around and further assessment, the operations team believes we can create something that allows for halfpipe training. We are working to build a shorter version of a halfpipe; we estimate it will likely be 150-200 feet long, given the amount of snow available. This will allow our athletes to continue to train on a similarly shaped feature and allow us to focus snowmaking where the mountain needs it most.
Named after the prestigious Gordon Robbins A.K.A. "Grandpa Shred," this park includes highly creative small and medium features and an improved terrain experience that allows you to flow from one feature to the next. Talk about prime location, this park is located under the A Quad on Homeward Bound trail. This terrain park is home to the Vermont Family Adventure Run by Toyota this season.
A reimagined family-friendly start park located in the Jackson Gore base area. Tree Tap park is the ultimate place to session ultra fun features and practice your skills. This park can be accessed from the Coleman Brook Express Quad.

More Safety Information
- Know your limits and ability level and select appropriate terrain for YOU.
- Know the intended use of the terrain you have chosen. Some features are intended to be used in a series with no stopping. Others individually with stopping areas. Don't know? Ask.
- Your actions can take you out of balance and cause serious injury, no matter how the feature is designed or where you land. Land on your feet.
- Transitions are changes in the shape and pitch of the snow or feature, or changes from one type of sliding surface to another. They can be gentle or abrupt and demand that users be alert and respond with accurate movements.
- Know where to land. The SWEET SPOT is between the "knuckle" and the center of the landing zone.
- Inverted maneuvers are not recommended at Okemo.
- Be aware that features change constantly.
- Read and obey all signs, instructions and warnings.
Learn How to Ski or Ride the Parks
Not familiar with how to use terrain parks, or want to make sure you're doing it right? Terrain parks require certain knowledge beyond just basic skiing or riding.
