Drop In

Park junkies can spend an entire day taking the Vista Express chairlift (go left when you get off the Gondola) and access the ultimate playground loaded with an assortment of jumps, hips, rails and boxes along with a 420-foot Superpipe.  Scope it out  and decide what lines you want to attack. 

• Pinball is the longest & densest park, sporting jibs galore with everything from street rails to fun boxes, along with tabletops, step-downs, hips and rollers.  
• For the BIG boys and girls, head left near the top of Pinball onto Moonshine where the most advanced features are found including our signature features, such as the Matix Staircase

• Located right before the Superpipe, take a run through Pipeline to get warmed up and ready for the 420' pipe lovers dream.

When you're ready to change the scene, make sure to meander over to the Tahoe Zephyr, your transport to the one and only, Burton-branded park, The Stash.  Head skier's left after you slide off the chair and look to the trees for some Yeti-looking creatures, tree jibs and bonks, cliff drops and don't leave until you've had the chance to jib, jump or hang out inside the CK Cabin.

Grub

Start off the day right by picking up a breakfast burrito from Big Wave.  That should hold you over until the afternoon when you can pay a visit to Euro Snack, the free standing Belgian waffle and French hot dog stand located at the top of the Gondola.  How convenient!  Taste how the Europeans do up waffles and dogs.  Try the famous authentic Mexican cuisine at Chilly Pepper’s on the deck of the Lodge at Big Springs if you want something more filling.   And if you missed Big Wave on the way in, catch them on the way out, ideally around happy hour time for beer specials!   » More eats
