Although Mont Ripley has a great learning area with a learn-to program to fit your needs and wallet, we are famous for our challenging terrain. From our urban back country glades to our terrain parks with more than thirty features with both jumps and slides to challenge your abilities, Mont Ripley is that hidden gem you’ve been looking for.
