fun, but kinda mellow... no huge jumps or jibs, but is usually pretty well taken care of and rarely crowded

From someone who spent all his childhood there:
Pros:
1. on a powder day, EVERYONE IS CLUELESS, if you know where to go, then you will have an amazing day.
2. The park is BARREN, if you want to lap the park, your good to. Every now and then JJ shiller (like the only pro at Kirkwood, sponsored by Moment) comes out, and hes really chill, he'll talk to you and ski with you.


Cons:
1. super fucking windy sometimes
2. Park is short
3. Lines are long (become an assistant coach, skip lines)
