i ski springs every weekend...gets kinda crowded but i have been to snowshoe before on a weekday so cant tell ya about parthe crowded t but theyre jump park wasnt as nice.

the spot should be pretty good at 7 springs by then too so my vote is 7 springs.

7 springs will be rockin and theyre having a rail jam this weekend so all the rails will be out and they already have a pretty big booter (35-40 feet) depending on how it was groomed , and they should have a second larger one by then. And all the rails means at least 10-12 features all more than15 feet in length and as long as 35+". just avoid riding the 6 pack on the weekends and ride the three banger over the park(its never crowded) jea you deff want to go with the springs.

youd have competition in the open class but prob come in third or below no less than 7 though. you might have a chance in the ameture class though and its only 7 bucks to enter and you could pick up either 500 dollars or some free schwag. the only thing is you need to get a park pass and you need to watch a vid and fill out papers and might not be able to do that before the jam

last year the jumps for the open were crazy there huge same with the rails...

this guy came in second and threw a double backflip over the middle jump and it wasnt even the biggest hit... i thought he should have won...

Snowshoe always sucks when I go. There is a bunch of hype around it because the park is "Burton signature" or whatever and it is an Intrawest resort. All the rails and boxes are ride on and dont even get me started on the jumps, because they suck too. Go anywhere but snowshoe.

you have to be 15 or under to compete in the amature class...and its 700$ for the pro and 500$ for ameture.

i think im gunna enter amature if i dont miss the sign ups for it...and i still have to get a parkpass and all that shit and i have to see if they found my season pass and if they didnt i have to go through a bunch of other shit..but well see...
