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.

Waterville and Loon definately have 2 of the best parks around new england, and both are like 30 minutes from each other.

loon and waterville hands down have the best new hampshire parks but attitash has a really good vibe and pretty much a skier only scene its really chill and fun for kids to just come up and learn stuff because its not that popular there's not a lot of amazing riders dominating the park like at waterville and loon attitash just has a fun chill vibe where it's easier to improve

sorry I didn't read your post before. I get what you're saying about good skiers at wv and loon...but I honestly suck and have never felt out of place or stupid falling all over the place in the parks at dubv and loon. I like the 'scene' at both mountains

Yeah those are the best in VT with maybe the exception of stowe. I like smuggs setup better then stowe. Most of their parks suck but one on the far right is nice for laps with its owns t-bar that often runs until 4:30, plus its has some nice jumps with steep landings multiple takeoffs and good flow.

Yeah as far as northern VT, definately Smuggler's Notch.
NH: Loon/WV gets another vote.
CT: Sundown
MA: Wachusett for rails, Bousquet has the biggest jumps but only good when groomed.

Unless stowe has come a long, long way since i;ve lived up there, i'd say its nothing but dangerous with short landings and weak rails. Jay peak is my favorite vt place. 400+ inches of snow and a lot of fun rail set ups. i;d say favorite overall.


if jimminy peak would spend a little more time creating a park they would take the prize for the mass-hole awards. I like that little area.

i;ve never been to WV but thought Loon was a good time when i was up there a couple years ago.

and powder ridge kills it in CT.

that should be nowhere on the list, stratton's park is always so piss poor whenever i'm there. the only good thing is that they opened the vt open course to the public instead of destroying it this year.

Loon, WV, Sunday River.

Sugarloaf has a good park, but the vibe is great. Very friendly. Sunday River's park is definatly one of the best, but the vibe isn't as good.

im sorry but u guys seem to be pretty silly. mt snow should clearly be on that list. i understand that loon and dub vare sick yes, but when you guys bring sunapee, cranmore, and wachusett into this, thats just rediculous. mt snow clearly has sick parks, and always have. find a park with better flow, or a more fun park then diablo. and inferno at mt snow clearly has the biggest jumps on the east coast. i seriously was laughing at you guys when you were saying sunapee, cranmore (wtf i ve never heard a single thing abut there park), wachusett (lets be honest, its mass), smuggs, etc. i mean seriously guys, mt snow holds it down
