personally i dont see why would would be in a terrian park at a-basin. unless you ski at a-basin on a normal bases why would you wanta ski their park. there is far more to do for big mountain, if you want a park go to breck. if you want big mountain ski a-basin

A-Basin is sick... like someone already said.. if you go there for the park then you are one confused little person. the terrain there is sick. ski the chutes at the top left or if you are going down go all the way to skiers left.

OMG...

Was that the question???WTF?

Let me explain. Abasin is currently the only vail resorts mountain open right now. Seeing as I dont want to spend money on a lift ticket when I already have a perfectly good pass, I would probably be going to A basin. I am fully aware of the skiing in and around summit county and realize there are mountains with better parks, but not right now. There is hardly any snow in CO right now and there definitel is not enough to ski the wall, so stop pretending to the ultimate CO local and answer the fucking question that was asked!

I 'll repeat:

Is there any park features set up at Abasin? yes? no?

Thanks.

1. Chill!
2. Probably not. I wouldn't waste the $$.
3. If it's that important, use your phone and call them.

It just gets a little annoying when you ask a question on this forum and you get like 5 replies totally off the subject and rude.

I dont think you get it either, so forget it.

if you go to copper with someone who has a pass, you can get up to 4 free kids tickets until about the end of nov.

ok first off nca777, this is not your thread, so dont get all pissed off when they dont answer your question. and second off i was refering to stylefree's question because it is his thread, i beleave that most people on here were anwsering to him, i had to go back and read the thread over because i didnt even know you asked a question, i guess you arnt as important that nobody will anwer your question. and like stated before is it that hard to pick up a phone and call or even better i wouldnt be surprized if abasin had a website, that just maybe has some pictures and possibly current condistions, just my guess

ok here is your answer. yes i have been to a basin. i dont know if they have rails but chances are they do. but who really cares about rails because the all mountain skiing is 10x better. and yes it is definatly worth going

no, they don't have rails set up yet. you can see them up by the bbq place on the lift and they do have a new one or two.
