i wanna know how the vail goldenpeak park is and i wanna know how the vail lionshead park is too. like how big of jumps? rails? boxes? pipe not icy/good conditions?

same with keystone...

im more of a jumper than rails, so i have to go from like intermediate park jumps to beginner area park rails, so thats why i wanna know everything about intermediate mostly.

ill be there easter week

The keystone terrain park kicks ass, its got stuff for beginner up to expert. Also some nice jibs and jumps too. The best part is they actually play music through their loudspeakers.

If your looking for terrain parks dont hit Vail, they all mostly suck. Keystone has some huge jumps, although i dont remeber how big they were exactly. Id hit either keystone , or if you have time go to Breckenridge...they have a huge terrain park with some pretty bigass jumps.

If you go on there site theres a video up of what they have. I've never gone this late in the year before, but I'm sure they'll have some big booters set up. They always have one or two pretty beastly jumps at Goldenpeak.

keystone right now..
big jump line is like, 30, 45, 60
intermediate is 15 30 45
beginner 5 10 15
rails in beginner park, flat box, wide flat box, up-flat, flat, all basically in ground, or an up-flat-down, c-box, opposite c-box, s rail, opposite s-rail, up down rail, up-flat-down rail, flat rail, flat-down rail, and another flat box.

main rail line is a 15 foot flat, flat-down, down box, butter box, keystone wall ride, welcome to keystone stall box, slant wall ride, urban down, down box, quarter pipe with a wall stall, 2 c-boxes, urban single barrel, flat down box, corrugated pipe thing thats a bitch on skis, flat box, double barrel flat, wierd no-lip urban, double barrel up.

under the big jumps is an up rail, mini-pipe, up-down box, up-flat-down rail, c rail, urban d-f-d, urban down, metal boreal wall ride, boardwalk wall ride, urban d-f-d, single barrel flat down, ridiculous single barrel urban d-f-d, and the barrel stall.

right line is a down box, double barrel, flat box, then a gnarly s-rail, double barrel s, up-down, a few in-ground boxes that are basically invisible, and the super pipe.

theres also a stop-sign stall, a pipe stall, a little butter donut thing at the top of the right line, and the fake-bc booter out of the trees

vail i havent ridden much because i dont like the flow, but if i remember right, it starts out either 2 boxes, a flat rail, 15 footer, urban down, or the super pipe, then you have the option of either the mini pipe, or a super wide mini pipe with coping, 3 flat rails down the middle, a wall ride, and a c-box wall ride deal. then you have beginner jumps on the left followed by a flat box, or 2 20ish or 30ish foot jumps to a quarter pipe, with an wall-ride rail or a 35 foot jump followed by an up rail or rainbow. behind the quarter is a d-f-d box, urban rainbow, and an urban double barrel, then two picnic tables, a double barrel, a flat-down box or a flat down rail, then two more urbans, and the big jumps which look to be between 30 and 60 feet

Pretty much hit it right on the nose.

Then there are two Urbans after the Sessions booters.

a really skinny picnic table and and long flat-down.

I would say skip Vail and go to Beaver Creek. It's five minutes away and has a better intermediat park. Moonshine is a lot more "user-friendly" than Golden Peak.

I will second that. Everything was real fun and I would consider myself a intermidate skier. By the way I didn't really hit many jumps there. The rails are really fun.
