loon has the best park in nh. if your just lookin for good park than best in the east is mt snow this year but since your in nh mt sunapee has a decent park and so does waterville. You could drive like an hour and a half to sunday river in maine to they have a sick park

sunday rivers parks suck. i rode there for like 6 years in a row and each year they make it seem like its going to be awesome then it isnt. still a fun mountain though. loon has a sick park though so does WV.

Loon is so sick!  It easily had the best east coast park last year!  Waterville also usually has a sick park and Cranmore doesn't have a bad park for the size of the mountain!

bird sanctuary.. one of my favorite places to burn.. that and chutes and ladders.. theres also a path that starts at the beginning of sunset and leads to a gigantic rock.. kind of sketchy run but also a favorite burn spot of mine.

there's one inbetween walking boss and flume too thats sick. and off of upper/lower speakeasy.

Also black mountain (you can see paths from the northpeak, if you look towards camp 3 / brookway) is sick. If you hike it from the bottom, they won't pull your pass. It's only against the rules to use the chairlift and skate over via walking boss back trails.

Just bring a buddy, no ski patrol unless you wanna pay like 8thousand bucks

Loon is where you want to be.  LMP, their mile and a half  park is rediculas.  Jumps are groomed and maintained to perfections.  Last year they had jumps from 5' to landing - 55' to landing.  Tons of rails, box's and jibs of all sorts.  Awesome stair set, street/hand rail set up.  Massive wall ride.  Perfect superpipe.  If you want treeskiing, if there is enough snow, it is devine.
