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 sent this message to every NA regional forum, so yes I do know that I'm from Ontario, but I still wanted to see what everyone has to say!

The best park I ever went to was Blue Mountain 3 years ago but I guess things have changed since then. Now MSLM is obviously the best hands down.

Louis sucks balls, hard!
Blue is the best in the area, but its still hurting, they can make it so much better but management is stupid. and they put in the snow guns for the pipe in the wrong spot.

As well while you're doing this, make a vote for which you like better. Blue or Louis seem to be coming out on top, but for each of you who have said that could you please assign one to a #1 and the other to a #2?

I've never been to Blue, although I did drive up there today so I can't give a rating.I've snowboarded at Louis and it was pretty sweet. Theres lots of rails and decent jumps.

I usually ride at snow valley and anythings better, but I think with some more funding and dedication they could have a decent park. The park staff at Valley suck, they only groom the stuff they want to hit.

#1 blue
#2 louis

Blue's jumps are in a league of thier own, when comparing parks in ontario. Louis rails are incredibly fun!

i skied at horshoe most of the year, blue about 10 times, and louis about 3 times. i would say louis has the sickest park. blue has the best skiing in ontario and still a very sick park. horshoe did better then anyone expected this year too. still not that great though.

yah, I'll agree with you...I think it's all dirt. Snow Valley on the other hand used to be a garbage dump.

Well i figured out the first trap of that box was the trap from the smaller park and the last flat down was from badlands up near the top.


2 boxes into one.



still a sick set up
