Two freestyle parks.
Two awesome freestyle parks have helped cement Angel
Fire Resort's position as the snowboarding capital
of the state. In fact, we were the site of the USASA
Snowboard Nationals in 2004 and Liberation Park was
picked as the 2008 Terrain Park of the Year in North
America by On The Snow. Our rails, jumps, tabletops
and fun boxes are open challenges to freestyle
skiers, as well as boarders.
Lowrider Park
And, we're just getting started. Lowrider park has
been expanded and updated over the past two seasons
with new features shown in the photos below. The
primary focus was to build smaller features so that
more people could have the ability to learn and
sharpen their skills. Last year Lowrider was moved
to the backside near the Mountain Haus for two
reasons: the snow and weather conditions are better
and access is much easier. Look for all 6
features to be set up in-line when we kick off the
2010-2011 season!
Liberation Park
The readers' choice for North American Terrain Park of the Year in 2008,
Liberation park keeps getting better as well. Check
out features including one of our favorites, a 1,000
gallon recycled propane tank (yeah… a propane tank)
that locals are calling "The Pill" are waiting for
you. Look for it to be set up on a platform
accessible from the front and the sides.
Additionally you will find a 4’ x 16’ Dance Floor, a
huge but mellow 40’ A-frame, a 20’ Up-rail, an 8’
mini Wall ride and a 13” round snowmaking pipe set
up as a pole jam. And, of course, you won't want to
miss the Whale’s Tail and the smooth Rainbow Rail.
As far as jumps go, Liberation park will continue to
lead the way with at least 6, possibly 8 jumps
instead of the usual 3 or 4. These jumps will
continuously vary in their takeoff radius and launch
angle to give you different feels throughout the
year. The lengths on the jumps will range from
15’ to over 50’! The park has something for
everyone, including quarter pipe so get ready to get
vert!
