SAM Magazine—Natick, Mass., Dec. 11, 2025—The 20th SAM Terrain Park Contest saw 40 percent more votes than last year and drew 85 resort-submitted entries spread across four categories: features, events, edits, and park crews.

A selection of entries were presented in the November 2025 issue of SAM, and all were posted on saminfo.com, where the public was able to vote for their favorite in each category throughout November and part of December.

The votes have been tallied, and the results are in. The winners of the 2025 SAM Terrain Park Contest are:

All winners will receive a prize package from contest sponsor Prinoth and priceless bragging rights. And, for garnering the most votes overall in multiple categories, Sugarbush, Vt., will receive one all-inclusive registration to Cutter’s Camp, SAM’s annual education and training event for terrain park professionals (May 11-15, 2026, Timberline, Ore.).

“The high level of commitment that ski areas have for their terrain park programs was on full display in this year’s contest,” said SAM publisher Olivia Rowan. “After more than 20 years of supporting the progression of terrain park construction and programming, it’s exciting for us to see. We appreciate the ski area personnel that took the time to enter the contest and share their team’s work. Congrats to our winners!”
