Michigan Terrain Parks Ski Brule!

Experience The Midwest’s Best Terrain!

As the saying goes ‘if you build it, they will come’. And riders from all over the Midwest come to Ski Brule because of top quality Michigan terrain parks. Ski Brule Park crew has built three parks designed for riders to have a progressive system of features for learning and developing skills. Smaller boxes, wider rails and jumps that start off small and increase in size for riders increasing their skills. Diverse terrain with varying pitches that wind through wooded terrain give that ‘mountain experience’ in the Midwest. Bambi Rail Playground, Rapids and Snowshoe parks are modified throughout the season to keep the parks fresh and interesting.

Fun & Diverse Terrain

Ski Brule is dedicated to creating fun and diverse terrain that is designed for any ability level. Expect to see jumps and kickers of all sizes, from small to big air in the terrain parks. Rails and boxes too! It’s fun. It’s challenging. 

“Always have amazing snow and hands down the best family friendly mountain! My boys loved the boxes and were so proud to have mastered riding them!” ~ Wes

Mornings are very busy at Ski Brule. The Park Crew is putting the finishing touches on the park to ensure the best terrain and features are found at Ski Brule. The three terrain parks offer an array of features for a wide range of abilities. The playful turns, switchbacks and berms on Timber Doodle and Double Doodle are sure to put a smile on your face. If it’s a corduroy groomer you prefer, the Ski Brule grooming staff is the best there is!

Ski Brule Terrain Park Guidelines 

Both skiiers and snowboarders alike are sure to find features that will challenge them at our terrain park.  Please review our list of common courtesy guidelines for terrain park usage:

1. Know where each feature starts and stops

Most features have a designated staging area where you start and land the trick.

2. Start small

Don’t bite off more than  you can chew.  It’s best to start on smaller less challenging features and work your way up.  Build your skills.   You can learn a lot by watching others. How did they hit a rail or jump? Where did they start? How many speed checks or turns did they make? Know your limits. Ride within your ability. 

3. Make a plan of attack for every feature

Each feature is unique. Watch how others approach the feature and develop how you plan to attack the feature ahead of time for the best results.

4. Stay the course.  Don’t Cut Across a Feature

Avoid cutting in front of takeoffs or cutting across the bottoms of landings. You risk ruin someone’s line, or worse: you’ll cause someone to crash into you.  Be safe and considerate of others in your use of the terrain park.

5.  Call your drop, announcing your turn to go.

Move forward with the crowd, and when it’s your turn, call out “dropping next” and put your hand up. Be sure to give the person in front of you enough room to clear the feature before dropping in. Always look before you drop.

6. Wait Your Turn

Don’t interrupt another’s flow  by cutting in the middle of a series of features and interrupting someone else’s line.  Respect the features and other users.

7. Clear the Features Quickly

When you fall, don’t worry.  It happens to all of us, and shows that we’re learning something new.  But try to get up and get out of the way quickly.  People dropping in behind you may not be able to stop in time, and we want everyone to be safe. If you see someone else who’s fallen, stop and make an “X” with your arms to signal that the feature is closed, until it is safely cleared.

8. If You Don’t Know, Ask

If you’re not sure, It’s quite common to ask someone in the park how a feature works. That’s part of the community.

We want you to enjoy your day on Michigan’s best terrain park! Be safe out there and have fun!
