Pila Boarding & Freestyle
Pila is a popular resort with snowboarders and offers scenic, crowd free slopes, endless woods for off-piste powder, an extensive snow park and a challenging half pipe. There are few flats and no drag lifts to negotiate.Pila’s ski area is mainly north facing and the tree-lined slopes usually hold good snow conditions throughout the winter with great powder in the woods. Three wide blue pistes provide ideal terrain for beginners learning to snowboard, but the majority of Pila’s pistes are red runs bordered by woods and include some excellent opportunities for riding off-piste through the trees.
High altitude powder and Pila’s steepest runs can be found in the panoramic area served by the two Couis chairlifts where there is also a dedicated free ride zone. Chamole 1 to the left of the Chamole chairlift is an appealing run cut through the trees; it’s usually quiet and is exceptionally good after a fresh dump of powder.
Pila’s snow park is located in the high altitude, snowy bowl serviced by the Grimod 4-seater chairlift. It combines natural terrain features with created structures. There are jumping lines for riders of all levels from beginners to expert, with kickers ranging from 3m to 16m. There are also a series of rails and flat box.
