Skiing & snowboarding terrain doesn't get any more unique than this. The 500 acres of loosely spaced dead trees in the Black Forest or 'Badlands' make for a surreal powder riding experience. Yep, forest fires are a natural phenomenon, and this one just happened to work out in our favour... who are we to complain?

Especially good on stormy powder days, weaving through the jagged trees, gulleys, and pillows of the Black Forest on a powder day is unlike anything else.

Oh, and here's Jeremy Jones & another O'Neill rider just beyond the Black Forest...
