the park is the last thing to consider at J-hole. its the most amazing mountain terrain ever with lots of stashes of little to medium to huge cliff drops (see 'crags' on the trail map on a good powder day).

vail has a sick park and also a lot of good powder runs, but dont go to Jackson looking for jumps and rails.

if youre a park skier, Jacksons not right for you.
if youre looking for park go to breck or buttermilk like you said.
but if youre looking for a real skiing experience, go to jackson hole. but know what your doing when you go there, its pretty gnarley
