Butternut : Terrain Park

.::TERRAIN PARK PASSES::.
$10 for the season, or $3 for a day!

Ski Butternut requires that all skiers and riders first obtain a Terrain Park Pass, before accessing the Twist/West Way Terrain Park. New for this year, you will need to take a TEST to demonstrate that you know and understand the park rules.
After passing your test, print the resulting certificate and bring it to Ski Butternut's main office, where you may purchase either a 1-day or season long Terrain Park Pass for a modest price:
$3 (1-Day - Terrain Park Pass).
$10 (Season Long - Terrain Park Pass).
The good news - All dollars from the sale of the Terrain Park Passes will go toward improving the parks.

.::OUR PARKS::.

At Ski Butternut we offer 2 terrain parks.

Our learning park is located on the Scooter trail. It is designed to give skiers and riders with less experience a safe place to learn new and additional skills. We require that all riders understand park etiquette, learn and practice it here before venturing onto the more challenging Twist & West Way advanced Terrain Park.

Riders looking to get experience riding terrain features, should first check out the smaller hits and features on the left side of Scooter in the Scooter Terrain Park. Those more experienced skiers and riders looking for bigger air and more difficult features should head over to the Twist & West Way Terrain Park.

The Twist park section features numerous challenging rails, including: a flat-up-flat, 25' straight, battleship, 20' Street Rail, 40' Flat-Down, a 23' Hand Hewn Log rail, Rainbow rail, Rainbow-C-rail & a T-log, among others! Most jumps fall in the 25-40 ft range, with some smaller tables.

All terrain features are open to both skiers and snowboarders. Please use common sense. Look before you leap. Use spotters to make sure the landing area is clear. Follow all other rules as printed at the entrance to the park, as well as those outlined under the "Your Responsibility Code" section on the Ski Butternut trail map.
