I am planning a trip and wanna know where I can hit the most/best features (I like rails/boxes). I only made it out to Panorama this season and It was before they finished their park.

Oh, and I can't afford to head out to the west coast, so Whistler is out.

Revelstoke's new "Gnar-Park" for this season is pretty epic. 20 foot set-up stepdown into a super flowy decent size (30-40) feet jump line, the last feature is so epic a 60 foot step-up. Best jump so far right now in the rockies.


Don't go to COP they have been getting SO MUCH SNOW and the park is shitty because you can't get enough speed to even hit the top rails.

You gotta be shitting me, Kicking horse has a little shithole of a park, they have maybe 4 boxes and a two foot and a five foot jump. If you want to do some real skiing, go to Kicking Horse, don't go there for the park.

Thanks for the compliments on our park  (Sunshine). We are doing alot of work on it in the past few days, so you will see a few features moved around. Also we are going to be fixing the bottom jump in the lower park very soon, as well as adding some more features ( if you look at skier's right of the bottom park exit.....you will see we still have tons of features to put up).

Cheers

Mat

no worries, just if i could make a comment about that bottom table/step up thing in the bottom park, if you move the take off a little closer and add more kick it would be amazing, more like an older true table, that way people would have speed, and it would kick higher, but not send you as far, when you first made it a few weeks back the take off was a perfect size and angle but there wasnt enough speed, if you take that original wedge design and move it like 10 feet closer it would be amazing jump!
