Whistler Blackcomb
Closest Airport: Vancouver
Elevation: 2,240m
Opening times: mid June to mid July
Park? Yes
Home to the infamous Camp of Champions summer camp, Blackcomb mountain is home to one of the best summer parks in the world. Unfortunately, unless you’re Torstein Horgmo or Stale Såndbech or another invited rider/coach, it’ll cost you a small fortune to ride it.
Despite that, you’ll also find a decent public park up on the glacier too, look out for the Footyfiend crew combing it!
Mt. Hood
Closest Airport: Portland
Elevation: 2,581m
Opening times: June to September
Park? Yes
There isn’t much that really needs to be said about summer snowboarding at Mt. Hood.
Every June/July/August we get a slew of amazing park edits from Windells and High Cascade and although also expensive to attend, it pretty much looks amazing.
Every pro and their gran passes through Hood each summer, and on top of the sick snowboarding, you get to skateboard in killer parks, eat doughnuts and do a bunch of other fun shit – provided you’re down to hang with a load of 16 year old campers, of course…
