i ski vail every presidents weekend.
its a goofy resort.
the park is alright.. there are never really any jumps... the back bowls can be fun but everything is always so icy... so i always hit up beaver creek. its so much doper. every one there is so much cooler and its always less crowded, but no really park.

sorry for the unrelated rant

I was at vail a week ago and it was the most epic skiing ive ever done, the powder was insane. You haven't experienced ice till you've skied where I ski and I still love it.

my grandparents have a house right in between the beav and vail so ive skied them both all all dif times of year so i know alot about how the mountains generlally are

in vail the bowls are by far the best anywhere in my opinion, there is better skiing at other resorts dont get me wrong but they have 5 different bowls which you dont find almost ever and theirs are all great and powderfilled and it is easy to find a fresh line even with all the kooks. In vail there is the worst kooks ever though. The park is ok its not too good i didnt really like the flow of the whole thing though

the beav is a more chill mountain in my opinion more ppl who kno how to ride and not to many wolf skin coats r being worn. the skiing is still really good and definately fun i love it there. their park is fun definately underated it flows geat and they make their features for all different levels you should def check out the parks

BOTH have fantastic woods skiing although vails is better than the beavs, check out HAIRBAG ALLEY at vail and you will know what im talking about and all the tree lines above it


hope this helps and have fun if ur goin there!!

As far as snow Vail is going to shit right now as we are entering our usual 7-10 days of super warm temps that we always get in January. The coverage is pretty good, but don't expect any pow cause its all baked.

Vail opened all of their park today. 18ft pipe a triple line thats 30,40, and 50 feet a buncha rails. the only reason im sayin this is that its not supposed to snow till later in the week

vail is flat, there are very few legit places in bounds for such a massive resort

Nah, I wanna go out west so bad. I live in the East Coast and hear that skiing West is so much better. When I can drive I'm going up with my friends, no questions asked.

this is my 2 cents on the park this year.

I was up yesterday and the jumps were fun, and so were the rails. Nothing incredible though. The halfpipe is nice too and they are almost done with the second one. Whats nice is the variety of lines to hit when you are in the park.

btw, jump on seldom is epic right now. the landing isn't bombed out either

i made that jump yo.  pretty sick huh...  got a couple other sick booters laying around.

And yea, to all the vail-hating, you prob. just didn't go to the right places or didn't have enough pow.  I'd show you some goods if you'd like.

yo man- 

...wasn't me, though i have run into that guy with those LL1s a couple times.  There are some LL2 graphic mis-prints, it's the LL2 ski with the LL1 graphic...  seanpistol has a bunch of them for sale on here and i grabbed some of those...  so they look like a different ski but are clearly the LL2 upon speculation...  I have the whole day off tomorrow so you'll def. see me around, I have green pants, blackish puffy...  I'll prob. be ripping around sunny stuff as well, otherwise I might be building a booter if there isn't much else to do, not sure yet...  anyways give a shout if you see me around man
