Jay Peak has 4 distinct freestyle riding zones built on the idea of progressive accessibility. Two of the parks (the Rail Garden and Grom Park located on Tramside) are located in the Beginner Zone, where new riders can get the basics down before moving on to 2 more advanced freestyle zones (the Progression Park and The Park located on Stateside). Several competitions are held each year at Jay Peak - the only resort in the east that offers guided backcountry skiing and riding.
