Terrain Park
Hawksnest, one of the most supportive mountains of snowboarders in North Carolina, is in fact home to lots of incredible boarders. This creates a great atmosphere to ride in because everyone is so friendly. If you are just starting out, or if you want to learn new tricks, our snowboard instructors are well qualified to teach, with a number of snowboarding contest wins under their belts. Hawksnest is also home to a number of contests each year, which are fun for competitors and spectators alike.

Beginners Tip - If you crash on landing, get the heck out of the way because you are in the landing zone!

The Nest was one of the first mountains in the area to embrace snowboarding. The park is a big part of the mountain, so a lot of thought and care go into it. The Hawksnest terrain park maintenance crew has many years of experience and continually strives to make sure our terrain park is always in great shape. The ASU Snowboarding Club and other local snowboarders frequently ride Hawksnest, and help maintain and design the ever improving terrain park.
