The legendary Buttermilk, home of the X Games for the last 16-years

Where to go first? Well, to do it big, there’s nothing quite like the legendary launch pad that is Buttermilk. Home of the ESPN Winter X Games for the last 16 years, Buttermilk is the destination for freestyle riders and skiers from around the world to test their skills, as well as their response to fear. In fact, after the X Games trophies are hoisted at the end of January, you get first dibs on the same superpipe and massive slope-style jumps that the pros ride.

Not quite ready to go pro? No worries, because the parks at Mammoth, CA are next on the list. With a storied history all their own, the Unbound Terrain Parks of Mammoth Mountain have been progressing riders’ skills for more than 20 years. With over 100 acres of terrain, featuring a massive variety of parks, 3 halfpipes, 50 jumps, and over 100 jibs, the Unbound Terrain Parks are the perfect place for you to fill that bag of tricks up with something new.

Of course, no park rider is complete without a trip to the original, the innovator, the mecca that is Big Bear in California. “Bear” is the location of the first ever dedicated park – built way back in 1991 – and this SoCal mountain has been creating, challenging, and charging the park scene ever since. With new updates and partnerships – like the Red Bull Plaza, full of urban features straight from the street – Bear Mountain parks continue to connect some of the finest lines on the snow.
