Perfect North Slopes Vs Paoli Peaks

So, I just went to college this year at the University of Kentucky. The only problem. . . where's the SNOW?! So, to get my steeze on, I picked up a season pass to Perfect North up in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. I skied Paoli Peaks in years past, so I'm unfamiliar with Perfect North COMPLETELY. I've never been there, never seen it, nothing! So, to anyone who would know, am I in for a BIG change? Or, should I just assume that skiing ANYWHERE in the mid-west will probably be "sub-par"? Also, even if you've never hit up Paoli, just say something about Perfect North. You know, just fill me in. Much appreciated, Love and Respect.

Well, any mountain in Indiana sounds huuuge and will probably take a few weeks to get fully adjusted to.

Or 30 seconds.

Oh, AWESOME! Y'all made my day! I guess climate is pretty much the same throughout Southern Indiana, so I'm assuming this place should be up and running around Mid-December? And the terrain park, it's pretty legit?

THAT's what I wanted to hear. Those were the things I was hoping Perfect North whooped up Paoli on. I dunno, I guess I just always figured Paoli could do a little more than they do. . . like, at least a base lodge or SOMEPLACE to chill at the bottom of the hill when it's cold and it's also Boy Scout ski night, so the lift lines are ridiculously long with those kids in the full body Carrhart camo suits and what not. SUPER STOKED now.

PNS is really legit. Been skiing there for years. Park is great, runs are good. Good community and on week days, no wait for the lift line.

Instead of starting a new thread, I just thought I'd revive this one and remind everyone that PERFECT NORTH OPENS TOMORROW AT NOON! And let me tell y'all, I cannot WAIT to get jibtastic! +K for all Jibulant Members for simply being associated with the SLOPES!

Perfect North is the best hill ever.  I've been skiing at primarily PC for the last 4 years, and when I think back on my best, most fun days on snow they're at PNS.  place is the illest. 
See ya there over Christmas break.

Let's just hope that it isn't thunderstorms and 50 mph wind gusts like they're forecasting, because then they can't run the lifts and we'll have to wait another day...

Please go shove a knife into your nose in hopes that it might scramble your brain a little bit and than maybe you won't be able to read anymore and will stop being such a fucking douche.

next time y'all are in indiana check out paoli peaks.

17 trails, 4 of them i think are pros (black diamonds), snowboard park, they have a thing called the 'big air'. in the terrain park, they got a huge, huge jump
