We picked up the Japanese snowboard team Wednesday evening. The German, Italian and New Zealand teams arrive sometime later this month. The 22' pipe is amazing and ready and you got to get out here and see this go down. The O-Park...best in the midwest, the pipe...one of the best  ANYWHERE. Friday night rail jams open to the public.  Lots more...get out HERE!!!

can't really claim it's the best park unless you post some video/pics...for all we know that 22 ft pip could have massive ruts/holes in it...please add some credibility to your post...and isn't it a private resort? I'm assuming not many people from this area actually cant go there right?

 do a little research before getting crazy...  Otsego is open m-f 12-9 to the public for the month of Jan when the teams are there, but yes otherwise private.  Check it out while you can, the more tickets sold may promote opening to the public more often

most people i know don't even know there is an otsego ski area.

how can you say who cares about pipe or pipe riders. you realize your talking about some of the best riders in THE WORLD training @ the club for the OLYMPICS! sorry if our 22 FOOT pipe is too scary for you! as for jumps there is a 3pack jump line on chair 3. more jumps to come off chair 2 and our big jump line going up on chair 5. BEST PARK IN DA MIDWEST!

dudes i dont know know what you are talking about. i ride at bittersweet almost everyday and its janky. its not even that good, sure its one of the better parks in michigan but thats because michigan blows. they get the biggest ruts after all the rails and the jumps blows. bittersweet is not that good and has nothing on the O

they just cut both Qtr pips and blew up the airbag earlier thismorning  - australia was out there hitting it already and there will be a huge sesh tonight under the lights -   and yea sean the rail jam tonight should go off -     from my point of view  the pipe is a 10 out of 10 and from the double flips i saw yesterday the other athletes agree.       bottom line is this place is amazing - NO WE DONT NO WHY OR HOW!!  but forsure the best pipe and park in the midwest/east coast is located in gaylord mi      oh and word up to G Teeeeezzzzyyyyyy down at bitter - he backs me

i was out there today, and i must say i'm impressed
as far as the pipe goes, its groomed very well
that might have something to do with all the olympic teams that are going out there this winter
and all around, the rails and jumps were great as well

and holy shit the pipes a beast

I spent over a week at the Otsego club and it's a cool place.  Everyone was incredibly friendly to us.

Shot this while I was there.  There are a bunch of Olympic teams training there, mens and womens.
