The only thing Copper was good at last year was making a shitty park.

No, they aren't over rated at all...at least not Mammoth and June. What's over rated is the rich style towns like Aspen and Vail.

That was a joke right? Mammoth is incredible, June goes crazy. I'm not so sure about all this Northstar talk, they've improved, but I still don't find it anywhere near as good as mammy. The just are funny shaped, not enough pop and too much drop.

I liked Okemo a bit more than mt snow, some of mt snows stuff was just too big (yep Im a pussy haha) for me last year, and I was nursing an MCL injury on the 60 or 70 footer haha
Okemos jumps were smaller but they had more when I was there...

what about june? im thinkin either june, breck, keystone, or bear. thats from what i hear and feature wise. i think the best park is the one with quality but biggest quantity. id rather have a million different rails and jumps then a few perfect ones

mammoth is like 3 or so hours away from reno (closest airport) june is waaay better than mammoth. all these people claiming mammoth has the bhest park, have you been there youreself? or is it just from what you see in magazines and videos?

mount snow is killing it as of right now. they have the small park in full swing with lots of hits, hips and rails. and carinthia will be open with a PIPE and bigger park including a 4 PACK of double take off booters, THIS WEEK!

how does the US Open affect the quality of Stratton's Power Park exactly? the venue course is sick, but it gets torn down after VT Open.

but anyways, breck is rather dreamy and delicious, the best park i've skied.
