eh...parks are the integral part of a skiing experience though...if its cruddy then you need to ski the park once in a while to break the monotony of the trees, as well as a learning place to safely learn shit before you take it into the backcountry. if youre going to have that list then you should put big sky on there too.

For those who don't know. Gore Mountain.

I was going to say it, even thought most won't fully grasp that Gore Mountain is one of the best answers in here, sure Alta and JH are obviously powder havens, but Gore Mountain NY has the shittest park, EVER, and coupled with some decent trees, the split of time should be 100% rest of the mountain, 0% Gore Park. The freestyle is in shambles.

if there is a foot plus rule, it definately should be at places that constantly get good sized dumps... not jiminy.

are they building their park around some cliff hits (a la whistler's step up a couple seasons back), or full on fake landscape-style rocks?

if its the latter, that's quite funny.

and to address the topic, there is no "no park" list. even in the places with the most insane & easily accessible terrain in the alps, there's plenty of days when conditions in the BC suck or are retardedly dangerous.... hence park!

people say that when you go west you should ski park at all. however i disagree because the jumps are soo much bigger, its easier to do sweet tricks on them.  this past year when i went to utah i skied 3.5 days all mountain (moslty powder and tree lines, not alot of stuff on the trails, you know im a badass) and then 1.5 days in the  park learning new tricks. i felt like this was the perfect balance

CB park is the shit, sure it isn't Breck, but breck is flat and lame. Here you can lap the dopest terrain, drop Fredos 20-80 feet have a bomber glades run, nut your pants, and still throw down in the park on the way to paradise lift. Ultimate place to be a really well rounded skier
