The Portes du Soleil is very freestyle orientated and boasts five board parks! Avoriaz is the most popular and is renowned for being one of the best parks in Europe, as well as a hang out for local pros like Nicolas Droz and the Armada crew.  The park now hosts various major competitions throughout the season, so it has loads of different types of rails, and a good range of kickers and hips.  It also has its own button lift running along the side. The superpipe (5 metre walls) now lies at the bottom of the Arare sector right by the village of Avoriaz. There's also a phat sound system pumping out hip hop all day long.  The design is always changing but the set-up usually includes a couple of large kickers (10-20m), big hip, step-up, quarterpipe, c-rail, kinked rail, flat rails.  There is now also beginners park - Snowpark du Chapelle and a snowskate park with smaller table tops and rails. This is located right near the town itself and you will see it as you get the lift up from Morzine. It is a good place to learn new tricks before taking them to the bigger jumps and rails, or to just mess around doing butters and stuff.

There are also snowparks in Chatel and Les Gets.  They can be nice places to ride as it is a lot quieter than the other parks in the area, however they are limited for advanced riders. Chatel snowpark, known as the Smoothpark, has recently got much better and has a good selection of kickers and rails, including an s-rail and a see-saw rail!

 In Les Gets there's also some good powder runs and freeriding terrain over the other side of the mountain. Get the lift up to Mont Chery and drop over the other side. Boarder's can go left from the chair and with the right conditions there's usually a nice cornice to drop off, leading into the main powder bowl. Free-riding around this side of the mountain can be amazing with good snow conditions..

All the other ski areas also offer loads of freeriding terrain, most of which you will just find as you go. Chatel/Linga and the surrounding areas are especially good for this, with some great runs to be had through the trees. Late season sees the opening of the luge ride at Chatel - you don't need to brake at all, just go flat out all the way down and you'll have the ride of your life!
