Sometimes it just takes lots of practice and the will to beat your face in, get back up, and do it again is what it's all about.....

if you have access to big mountain, then ski big mountain...if all you have is a park, i can understand that, but im big mountain all the way...i love it, its way better than skiing the park all day.

ok. after living in ohio, and rarly seeing any kind of pow, you get tired of park. i have gotten to ski some ver good pow in Penn, believe it or not, and i can honestly say, i could care less if i never ski a park for the rest of my life. As long as i could kick it in the BC, i would be a happy guy.






Lets go skiing

I love skiing in the park and pipe but I'd take big mountain over park anyday, where I decide to ski depends pretty much entirely on the conditions. If I had my way I'd do nothing but rip powder and hit backcountry booters but that requires good conditions I can rarely count on. Some days it's just better to stay in the park but there ain't nothing wrong with that either.

i like both, ive never really skied any lines over 2000 feet and i dont consider that big enough to be 'big mountain' but i like hucking cliffs and cliff lines as well as chutes and straightlines. and i would pick that over jumping anyday if the condidtions were good. alot of the newschool stuff is all about style now, which i dont give a shit about becuase i ski for the feeling you get after being scared shitless and then just going for it, that feeling in your blood, how you are all amped up.... that is what i ski for. but tricks and jumping can give me that feeling too im just not obsessed with style too much but it is nice to make ur stuff look alright.

In response to the question you asked, if you compare the saleries of the top jibbers along side the top big mountain guys, I can assure you that the jibbers are making a hellava lot more money.

Park - Packed snow run with all sorts of stuff to launch off of and slide.

Big Mountain - Remote locations above the treeline, mostly with some nice deep powder.


There's obviously more to skiing than that. People tend to only talk about Park and Big Mountain though. How come they never talk about the glades and bowls? Those are the places where there is some great riding and great places to build jumps. So, for me. I'd saying riding stuff like that is the best.
