English term or phrase: Jibbing the park?

I am translating a cinema/video website. They set up several video short films contests. This one is about "Tell us the story of your early ski season"

The "header" is as follows:

====
Big mountain? ***Jibbing the park?*** Deliver the story of your early season session and get a chance to win $3,000.
====

I don't understand the meaning of jibbing (from jib or jibe?) nor the meaning of "park" in this context.

Could someone help, by explaining and/or rewording this sentence for me?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
