98-99 Powdr Corporation Boreal Review

Boreal has some nice runs but I think that the halfpipe and the terrain parks are the mountain's strong points. Overall, if you are a freestyler, then you'll fit right in at Boreal.

We ended up going to Boreal twice, the first after a huge snow dump. The snow kept falling the whole day while we rode. It padded the ground at a rate of about three inches per hour. Unfortunately, Boreal is relatively small and flat which makes freeriding in deep pow difficult. Even though half the trails were closed and the terrain parks were buried, we had a great time.

We returned to Boreal for "Bored '99", a concert and competition event that the mountain hosts every year. Several bands showed up, including "No Use for a Name" and the band formerly known as Sublime. Another part of the festivities included a freestyle competition with riders sponsored by local board shops. The day was warm and sunny, perfect for a park riding day, which is Boreal's strong point. They have a number of well made table tops and an awesome halfpipe. Boreal's terrain is suited perfectly for freestyle, so if that's your thing, Boreal should be a high priority on your list.
