Based on the Emmy award-winning reality series airing on CBS, Treetops brings back its own version of the Amazing Race. This is the 6th annual event at Treetops, which was highly successful in past seasons as 12 teams of four raced across the resort and into downtown Gaylord having an absolute blast.
New for 2010!
We are offering three different ways to compete! You may race in a Kid’s Division (ages 13 and younger) or choose to be in a Low Impact Division (less running!) or the Open Division (for all ages, teens and adults welcome).

Enjoy hanging out with your friends and doing something for yourself. Mark your calendar for the first Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Treetops licensed Spa Staff have created monthly themed events offering you a great way to relax and recharge by yourself or with friends.

Treetops New Terrain Park
Categories: Featured, Snowboarding, Treetops
New this season, Treetops is recreating the terrain park that will focus on safety, flow and beginner-Intermediate skill levels. Treetops will work with BOARDSPORT to incorporate features such as 20′ beginner and intermediate boxes of steel construction with plastic riding surfaces. Find out more about BOARDSPORT by clicking here.
Our terrain park will have 2 flat 10′ beginner rails as well as a 20′ intermediate round rail. There will be some challenging additions such as a beginner 16′ battle ship kinked rail as well as a 16′ intermediate rainbow rail. In addition, we will also be adding man-made and natural jib features such as barrels, and logs that can be used to slide or jump over or tap with skis or boards.
Your feedback is important to us! We would like you to let us know what you think of the new features or tell us what you would like to see. We will use this information to expand on our design, possibly incorporating an additional run for a new more advanced park in the future. Our goal this year and into the future is to provide a safe, fun and exciting area for snowboarders and skiers to test and expand their freestyle skills. We hope to give all of our park riders a positive experience while at Treetops and plan to expand our park to best meet the needs of our customers each year. Please email us at Feedback on Terrain Park with your thoughts.

A guest seating area in the Warming Hut is located at the base of the slopes where parents have a clear view of their children learning to ski. To further ease the transition of the beginner skier, we have extended one of the tow ropes an additional 145 feet to a lower location.
