Schuss Mountain
A new addition, this year is a park on Elf Shelf. It will offers features for the first time park user wanting to learn the skills necessary on how to ride rails and take small jumps in a separate, learner friendly setting.
Our park on Village Way is the perfect place to hone your freestyle skills. It offers several smaller jumps, a variety of lower and easier to ride rails, with lots of rollers, dips and turns. It’s perfect to practice on before advancing to our largest park.

Funland: The first park in the progression at the Highlands, this is perfect for first time park riders. It has small rollers, boxes, and entry-level rails. If you have never tried a rail or jump, head to this area for your first taste of the park.
Heather Rail Yard: Right off the top of the high-speed quad, you can hit this series of rails. They are more advanced than what you find in Funland and a good stepping-stone before you hit the big daddies.
Challenger Park: With a facelift this season, this park still offers great medium to large sized hits, but has gotten a little love to improve the flow and feel. A few rails and a great line of tables with multiple takeoffs cover the north side while the new 13′ Zaugg halfpipe sits on the south side. This is the next step after you master Funland and the Heather Rail Yard.
McGully Park: If you got the skillz and you got the steeze, hit up McGully for tricked out rails and big tables. This is not a park for beginners. With a flowing slopestyle feel and a couple massive kickers at the finish , it is the pinnacle park at the Highlands. Bring you’re A-Game. Only venture here when you have perfected your style in the other parks.
North Boyne Park: Home to the biggest hits, rails, and funboxes at the Mountain and you can hit it all off the high-speed six-pack. The top half of the run and the entire north side are covered with multiple hits and The Bowl Rail Yard houses the Mountain’s more difficult rails. Boyne’s new superpipe occupies the south side and holds the honor of being the longest superpipe in North America at over 700′ long. If you’re at the top of the game, this is the park to throw down in.
Ramshead Park: This is the place to build up your skillz before you head to the North Boyne Park. The smaller features allow you to put some air under you without the need for purchasing a clean pair of long undies afterwards. The rails in here are lower to the ground and the boxes have more width.
