Where's the best park in your area?

I'm doing a bit of research here, if you guys don't mind helping!
I'm trying to find out which are the parks with good park scenes kicking around. Try to name the best one or two in the region...
If someone has already said the resort that you like best, please enter in a vote of "I" for the resort!
Then I'm going to try to map all the cool parks around North America.

I like Copper's park(s) best. While Breck's pipe is sick, the "scene" is kind of annoying. Keystone has the best rails/boxes.

Brecks park and pipe. I think the scene is way legit too. Second would be copper, but I dont know much about thier scene. Third would be keystone, but I think they have a wack scene going on. Thats just my oppinion.

Winter Parks is pretty chill, most the kids are really cool and down to earth, Butte has a growing park, and is developing a scene, and all the kids there say whats up no matter who you are

Breck is hands down best park in Colorado...why is this even disputed anymore?
In the past 8 or so years I've never seen a park in Colorado, with the exception of Vail/Aspen every once in a while come close to challenging Brecks

That is completely right, Copper is mediocre at best.

your such a newb. everyone loves breck and honestly its the same as coppers but wider with smoother jumps and a better pip(barely) the differences between breck and copper are miniscule

Copper used to own it years ago, but then it started going downhill and I was introduced to the beauty and wonder of Breckenridge's park

Are you joking me? Coppers flow is horrible, there jumps are hard to get speed for and aren't big or shaped well.

brecks would be the best, if the rest of breckenridge didn't suck so badly.i think its one of the worst resorts around here. definatly one of the best towns though. this year winter park had a sick pipe, and dark territory was pretty cool, but kinda overrated. i loved vails park, and aspens. keystones rails were dope for sure, but from what i saw of echo's boneyard, they are definatly gonna have the best rails this year.

i really never heard much about dark territory this season, its hard to be over rated if its downplayed and not being posted about in every other thread, as for the kid saying breck and copper arent much different...quit smoking rocks...if you cant see a difference you must be on some drug, and breckenridge doesnt suck, its a super fun mountain, you just gotta go to different places you dont clearly see right under the lift, even the bowls are super fun to ski...and how can echo compare with mountains that have been making the best parks for the past 5 or 6 years? Breck truely does have the best pipe, perfect set up for jumps, speed is always right, as are the landings, echo is a sick idea, but like the rest, it will take them time to develop a park the caliber of brecks..

Yeah I'm sick of everyone hating on Breck, the place is much better than what everyone makes it out to be.
If it's windy ski the trees, if its not it has great high bowls.
There is also tons of natural jibs that I've found.

i wasn't saying echo will have the best park, but they are definatly going to have the best rails this season. copper and breck are way different, its true. as for dark territory, all i heard about it was how sick its going to be and how techy all the rails will be and how big the jumps will be, and then i go there, and the jump isn't any bigger than anything breck or vail has, and its usually closed off, and then there are 3 down rails, which werent that great. the only really crazy thing there was the quad kink, which was actually quite mellow once you hit it a few times. i would argue against breck being a super fun mountain, but to each his own right? im not fond of it, but others are, and hey, if everybody is skiing breck, then theres other places that have no lines, so i dont complain. oh, and if there was an award for natural terrain park, i think we can all agree that silverton or the butte can take that award

The past few years I've been really impressed with Keystone, I'd put them in as one of my tops.

I'd have to give it to Keystone and Breck. Breck rocks the booters but I don't think you can beat keystones rails.

winter park's park was not downplayed... early season there was so much hype about how sick their park would be. they had a whole layout on their web site showing what it would look like and on that, it looked amazing. but, in true intrawest fashion, they certainly did not follow through. the replica rails in dark territory, however, were a cute idea.

if you don't get good vibes at breck then you aren't putting good vibes out.
breck has the best park, pipe, and vibes in colorado. there are other places you can go ski, but nothing can compare to breck hands down the best.

you my friend are the newb. comparing breck to any place else in colorado is just a flat out joke. copper is like ramon noodles while breck is like bobby flay.
as far as another good park though winter park does have good laps and keystone is just jibtastic.

breck is so easily the best around... even if they just had freeway; but they also have 2 other small/medium parks good for messing around and looking really good.

i like keystone the best, since the park is in its own little area with its own lift and they have jumps from like 30 to like 65ish, and the rails are better than anywhere else, brecks park is good too, the jumps are the best part but i dont like the rails that much. i think i have the most fun at steamboats park, it may be tiny compared to breck's and keystones but i like the shape of the jumps and they have some sweet rails. the people at steamboat are always super cool too, everyone in the park is really cool and friendly. this one random guy spent like 30 minuites helping me fix my bindings, and i didnt even really need his help, he just wanted to make sure it was working. and like everyone is like that there.
i wanna go to crested butte soooooooo bad though, it just seems like the coolest place ever.
