I've been hittin rails in my front yard for the last 9 days with no breaks. I just feel cramped up hiking the same stuff over and over again, but my friends are mostly all park freaks. I'm new to the park and still love to feel the wind in my hair on the black diamonds. I was just wondering how you guys spend your time on the mountain, is it all park, or do you go and shred it up on the runs pretty often too?

So true. I got dominated when I took my board to A-Basin and tried to bomb the moguls, I was wishing I had my skis... I'll know better next time.

thats word. If i lived out west, i would ski for sure 75% pow/bowls/backcountry and 25% park, but that's only because I rarely get to ski real pow. The park on a nice sunny day with grooming is sick. I really want to be able to spend my days diversifying instead of having to simply ski one of those two.

right now probably about 50-50

Its either a park lap or skiing trees, pow, or some steeps all while on the look out for some drops, chutes, and gaps

i agree, but every now and then its fun to slow it down and mess around.
if i had to chose just one though, i would totally abandon park, blacks and woods are just too sick
