Although limited in size, Boreal makes up for it with a range of freestyle terrain features.

I had a ton of fun both times we went to Boreal. The first time we visited was a major pow day, almost more fresh snow than we could ride on. The groomers had trouble keeping up with the snow! The only chance at survival was to stay at least somewhere near the packed trails, as you quickly sank in the 3' deep pow when off the beaten path. Unfortunately, due to the amount of snow, the park was closed, but we still managed to tear it up, creating hits off little rollers and jibbing stuff that wasn't normally jibbable.

The second time we came to Boreal was for the Bored 99 mountain party/festival. Lots of live bands were playing at the bottom of the amphitheater-shaped resort. Pros like JP Walker, Blaise Rosenthal, and other local riders were throwing down mad skills in a competition and everyone there had a blast. The parks were full of people and, although it was pretty crowded, there were tons of hits to choose from.
