A full run at PC

Yeah so a basic intro: My local resort, Varingskollen, has a great park considering the flat terrain and short slope it´s located on. A full run with zero stops takes maybe a minute and a half, maximum. Then a friend of mine (who has never been to PC or any other US resort btw) told me that a run through the PC park took 15 minutes, and my jaws just dropped. Is this even remotely close to the truth?

depends how many times you stop. We use to have a park called Joneseys that was very long and took some time, but thats gone now. I wouldn't say 15 minutes, but Kings Crown is long ish and we have a new park this year that is suppose to be long. But yes, 15 is a big stretch.

pick n shovel odesn't take too long, maybe 2 minutes, kings probably like 8 and joneseys was maybe 10. that would be just shredding through at a pretty reasonable pace i think

most people stop a shit ton though so it would take a while

Yeah all us norwegians have. That plus we´re born with extreme knowledge of the english language.

Go to whistler. Runs there are a lot longer than 15 minutes if you ski top to bottom.

10 would be stretching for not stopping in Jonsey's. Even at its high point

No they don't have a top to bottom park in Whistler.

I would say that the Habitat park probably is like 8-10 minutes at decent pace. Blackcomb is probably about 6 min.
