We here at Loon are incredibly proud of our award-winning terrain parks. Studded with meticulous features that push the envelope of progression, those parks have earned a reputation for excellence among snowboarders and freeskiers around the world.

But it didn’t start out that way. Back in the 1980’s, snowboarders were required to pass a skills test before they were allowed on the mountain. Ski Patrol would confiscate your ticket if you jumped off of anything. Neon reigned supreme.

So how did we get to today? Watch the video to learn about the genesis our first terrain park, and all the ones since.
