I was reading an article somewhere about how small mountains in new jersey and similar areas stay afloat financially from the revenue generated from attracting people through parks. does anyone remember where this was and how I can find it?

It was skiing magazine. I will find it when I get home, I think it was a december issue from 02-04. It showed mountain creek and a guy on K2 enemies coming out of the pipe.

Mountain Creek has a sick park. From what I've heard, you can probably take the best rider at your hill, and most of the kids at Creek will kick his ass at riding. There's soooo many good kids there. It's known for it's park, 3rd best on the East Coast I believe. It's also known because of Grenade having it's roots there (Danny Kass, Dave Schiff, Kyle Clancy, Sketchy D)

its true, here in CO we have all these rather large mountains, but when comparing the parks here to those anywhere else, they are truely lacking.

parks aren't needed on the westside for fun .
That actually sucks for EC. I am glad I didn't stay there.
Don't get me wrong: Parks + EC = excellent
