VAIL MADNESS

I was lucky enough to spend two weeks At Vail, and boy was I blown AWAY!

It has 7 miles of mountain front, 7 back bowls, 3 terrain parks, 300 days of sunshine a year.

Boasts 5289 acres to explore during summer or winter seasons. Vail mountain is the ultimate place to shred or ski!

I tried and tested all 3 terrain parks, and discovered that Vail has all you could ask for in terms of variety and caters for all skill levels.

Under the Eagle barn chair is the beginner park which is named Bwana and Pride Terrain Park.

Then there is also the landing pad, located in Golden Peak under the Riva Bahn chair. This is a really great place for safe learning as it has been engineered for you to ride the trick out and if you land on your feet and it absorbs your impact if you don’t.

Best of all is the Golden peaks Park, which is located in Golden Peak village under the Riva Bahn, chair 6.

This has a 450' Superpipe, kink and straight rails, boxes (C box), snow features, a 24' disco box, battleship, Water tank jib, hip jump and a pretty high wall ride! There are also the big jumps with 30', 40' and 50' step down jumps.

Located just below the Superpipe there are small to medium jumps, which are great for practicing tricks, a learning line of box top rails, and short steel rails. which perfectly suits my riding abilty! Last but not least there is a 13' mini pipe. HELLS YES!
