You guys are complaining about one of the better parks in the country. It's by far the best park in Utah; pleaes don't tell me the Canyons compares. One fourty foot STEP DOWN (just like many of PC's jumps) and one high speed longer one don't compare to two well built parks and an imaculate pipe.
Maybe it isn't Keystone or Breckenridge, but who cares. It's hilarious to listen to many of you bitch about not being able to do doubles. How many of you would honestly do them? This is skiing, not aerials. Not every jump needs to be built a particular way that enables you to do specific tricks. I for one dislike the step over/up style jumps, it feels like you're three feet off the ground the whole time. If they aren't sufficient to do whatever double you want to do REI sells plenty of shovels and there are more than enough places around here to go build your own jump...
Maybe PC's jumps have a bit more consequences but there is plenty of pop, and airtime for doubles. And correct me if I'm wrong, but there is more to skiing than double flips...
Yes, diversity would be a good thing; however to Park City's defense they tried it with that step over to step down, and received nothing but hate. Granted, that may not be the diversity you are talking about but its not like all their jumps/features are identical. Maybe there aren't any step overs because of the lack of snow; those jumps do take more snow to build if you want them big enough to double.
And speaking of ignorant, most people should know a huge reason for PC's park hype is marketing dollars being tossed to various publications to talk it up.
And lastly, if those people who do "live for park" move to Utah they should realize their park setups are not going to be on the same level as Summit County.
It just seems so trivial to bitch and complain about a quality park setup. It's better than 95% of other parks, and the snow in utah (other than this year) is better than 99% of other states. Skiing is 30 minutes away from a major city with plenty of educational options. It just seems like people shouldn't knitpick about their skiing situation here in Utah, its pretty much the best option out there.
