Terrain park

A terrain park is an outdoor area that contains terrain that allows snowboarders and skiers to do tricks.

[edit] Terrain

Different kinds of terrain.

Some type of fixture which can be ground, buttered, or tricked off of.

Rail: a metal bar, either rounded or with a small flat surface, which a skier or snowboarder can slide across (called "grinding").

Funbox: similar to a rail, but wider with a plastic surface. May or may not have metal edges.

Rails and boxes have many different shapes and sizes: straight, sloped, curved, or kinked.

Wall ride: a vertical, or near-vertical, wall-like surface made of the same plastic material as funboxes. Most wall rides have another similar surface at the top that is angled down towards the wall, but more perpendicular to the ground (like a sideways funbox attached to the top of the wall ride)
Jumps

Jumps in terrain parks can range from five feet to ninety feet, although terrain parks vary from resort to resort.

Step-up: a jump in which the landing is higher than the takeoff; Step-down: a jump in which the landing is lower than the takeoff; Tabletop: a jump that looks somewhat like a table or trapezoid in which you take off of an incline (the lip), clear a flat part (the table), and then land on a downslope (the landing); Gap: a jump that has a large gap in between the take off and landing, instead of a table
Hip: a jump with one landing, which is perpendicular to the take off
Spine: a jump with two landings, which are perpendicular to the take off. Similar to a hip, but with a landing on both sides
Half-pipe
Quarter-pipe
