whats the best place right now? It just started snowing really hard but I dont know which place is best. I only want to ski powder if theres cliffs with flat takeoffs and long outruns, is Squaw good for that? I REALLY am dying to hit some park. Does Northstar groom every morning?

boreal is cheap, but SQUAW owns all other mountians... If your looking for skiing, and money isn't an issue go to squaw. If not, u could go to boreal but honestly, there park has no flow. Squaw has a good park right now and so does alpine. northstar is overrated, and heavenly sucks.

squaw blows. don't do it. unless you drive a convertable porsche to the mountains, sip on starbucks on the gondola ride up, couldn't live without a little ice skating, and topping it off with a nice hot tub. boreal's park is 100 times better same with alpine, and alpine has a good mountain to go with it. northstar is fun if you hit it at the right time but most of the time it is super crowded.

If your a gaper who cant do anything. South Shore Soldiers park is the best right now.

Best Jumps- Alpine or Sierra
Best Jibs- Heavenly - N*- Boreal
Best Real skiing- Squaw but if your broke Kirkwood

flat takeoffs with long runouts: Kirkwood, squaw too, but they're beat unless they're huge

northstars park is fucking shitty this year. Squaws is better this year believe it or not if u want both sick lines and a smooth park, go to squaw. also the pipe was built for the honda ski tour so you might wanna hit that up. 20' walls are pretty legit.

I skiied squaw this weekend, it was pretty fun. The park right off of siberia was good, the pipe was definetly the best part. The step up table to the jump off (i have no idea what you would call it) is also fun. I saw some skiers killing it sunday who had white and grey jackets on who took the last runs in the pipe before they closed it sunday to recut it, was that anyone on here? I had a blue jacket on sunday and a white line hoodie on saturday with olive pants if anyone remembers me looking like a complete gaper in the park
