Does anyone know of any terrain park-only ski areas besides Echo? I know there's a few back East, but I'm not sure which ones. Anywhere else?

A lot of places claim 100% park, but they just don't groom everything out. They'll groom early season to get a good base, then just make snow and leave piles. lame. Bear Mountain and Echo for sure.......and is Whaleback all park?

And that's because it's in the Souther Hemisphere so it's actually summer there right now. If you were to go in August or something, it would be sick.

Nope............  there is signage at the entrance that warns patrons to be prepared to encounter terrain park features on every trail and that the green, blue, black ratings does not apply to those features.

I know for a fact that even the little green runs will have small features off to the side of the trails this season.  It is happening....

This website for Big Boulder Park was just launched today.

http://www.jfbb.com/bigboulderpark/bigboulderpark.html

Hey,
Welcome to the new site. We will be bringing you lots of up to date info from now on. Look for videos, pics, and just about anything we can put on here.

Are you serious bro, do you think i dont know that new zealand is in the south hemisphere. Did the reference to the long commute not clue you in to the hint of sarcasm.

Wow
