Really Extreme USA Snowboarding Terrains That You Want To Try

When you are looking for highly extreme snowboarding terrain you want moderate to major steeps, some chutes and great glades. If trees are also present, all is great. Obviously, in the USA there are so many opportunities that can be considered. We will think about various different extreme regions that you will want on your list if you want to have the best possible experience when you go snowboarding.

Big Sky – Montana

Big Sky – Montana

When you area at Big Sky and you ride on the Lone Peak Tram you instantly figure out what extreme terrain is available for you. Go to the peak of this resort and you will find yourself in a situation in which you can only go down via really steep routes like Gullies. We recommend that you go with a friend, especially if you want to challenge an avalanche scenario. There is a 53 degrees pitch close to the resort top. Ask around to find Shredhorn and go down at huge speeds.

Kirkwood – California

Kirkwood – California

The resort is small but extreme snowboarders love it. You will find it in South Lake Tahoe and the drive is definitely well-worth the experience. Carson Pass gives you access to so many chutes, steep runs, open bowls at a high altitude and you will simply want to try the experience over and over again. Slopes are normally facing north and snow will be held really well during spring. The annual snowfall in the region is normally 40 feet on average.
