Breck or Keystone usually have the best early season park, especially if Mammoth doesn't have snow.

if you want a bunch (like 15 or so) of really fun rails and boxes, go to keystone.

if you want a couple jumps and some OK rails, go to breck

i would go to both

generally opening day for key and breck is November 10th. if we get some cold weather though, keystone will open a week earlier. breck will probably open with 2 larger jumps and a few decent rails, and key will have a big rail park in. i would wait a month if you can though. by the middle of December freeway will be up and a51 will be going strong.

That should help, Breck was first to have big jumps and they were legit.

I live there, and by november there will only be one peak open and a small park(usually a 40 and 45 footer, with a few rails). I would wait till Late December if you want to be here in all its glory,

echo will probably kill it this year in the early season. But I'm sure breck and key will step they're game as well. Every year it keeps getting better.

downside is.. every year there are more and more crowds.
