| Wild Ride Terrain Park | ||
Established in 2004 the Wild Ride Terrain Park has been a fantastic addition to Mt Lyford Alpine Resort, which is already described as a natural terrain park.The man made features of the terrain park add a more exciting and challenging aspect to the resort. The Wild Ride Terrain Park has been set up in its own basin to the right of the Cloudy T-bar. The park has a lead in through a natural terrain shoot with a snow cornice up to the left perfect for wing over's. First in the terrain park is a table top for massive air and tricks followed by the rails and fun box. Also this year a new Wild Ride Terrain Park Series |

| The International Truck Jump | ||
For years the old 1956 International Truck (ex tow truck) has been a focal point of the resort next to the lodge. Used as a source of entertainment by many for jumps and photography. |

The Smart Style *stretch before you hit the slopes* *have a few warm up runs* *look before you leap* - scope and inspect the terrain features on your first run - scope the area around jumps and rails - know the landing area is clear - have a spotter - clear yourself before leaping or sliding - clear yourself out of the landing area *work through your style* - know your ability - start small and easy working your way up (inverted aerials are not recommended) *give respect get respect* - from when you arrive in the car park to the lift line, the slopes and to the terrain park **most important have fun** |
