Where am I going

I just moved to Minneapolis and I'm looking for a new home. Where is the best place to ride? I'd like to get a season pass somewhere close to hit the park as much as I can every week, so closer to the cities is best. I know most of the stuff is pretty small, but I'd just like a couple of solid rails really.

Highland is in bloomington, but you will have to go to trollhogan, wild or spirit for a good park that will keep you coming back, stay away from welch, afton

spirit hands down for jumps, some resorts have maybe a couple more innovative rails but thats not to say that spirit is lacking in the rail department

but other than that go to hyland hills in bloomington, shortest drive and probably the nicest park around the twin cities. its realllllllly small hill but they have a 50 footer every year and tons of rails. they got rid of their pipe for this year so im hoping forl ike a 30 to 40 footer but im not sure exactly what they are going to put in

hype maybe take a year and just see how you like it and then decide next year on the pass. thats what i did last year and now this year i htink im buying one. basically if all you do is ski 100 percent park then definitally do it. laps in the park are sooooooo fast its really nice. it does get really crowded on the weekends from like 1-2 on but its not unbearable just because the laps are so fast. you could probably get 5-6 hits at hyland before you would get one run in at wild
