As you may know the east us getting hammered, and being from jersey (sadly i know) lol. This means its time to get the fuck outta here. So i'm out tonight, getting a room and kickin it... but i'm not bout to waste this snow  so where would be the best mountain for a good all around experience? Ability is not an issue, I'm looking looking for the best snow/all mtn/park in the PA area.

Thanks a lot and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Head up to Mtn Creek in North Jersey if you want a sick park. Seriously bro, the jumpline is amazing right now and we got like 40 + rails up.

yea man Ive seen it... its is sick but i'm at creek like every weekend sometimes more. plus the snow always gets destroyed because of the crowds and what not. sorta looking for somewhere new, maybe round top, 7 springs, liberty...maybe wisp? also, I'm in the Poconos a lot also so i'm really familiar with camel back, blue, bear creek, most popular Pocono resorts.

best all around idk but for park BB. havnt been in the area for a couple years now but ever since the original jib lab guys left creek( to bb though not for long i think) their shit went down hill fast . just am. shit like urbans with 5 feet of lip on one side and 2 on the other, gp boxes set up with the down one as a flat and the flat piece as a down, that  staircase they built for the snowboard contest in NY city that was way to steep/ short and nobody liked,  most of this shit isnt a big deal but just not what creek use to be,  they could be staring to get there shit together though. but for park i say bb much less crowded too.

3-jump line in the spot is somewhere around 55-65-70.
north park's 2-jump line is around 35-45.
and our rails are sick. pretty much all brand new this year.

For all around, this is hands down Camelback. Gnarly park and actual runs.

Bear Creek is my home mountain and i love it. only 500 ft though. but the parks one of the best in Pa. Blues not bad but is often really icy. But for skiing wise Elk is by far the best in Pa for length of runs and snow quality and Seven Springs is really nice too especially for park/pipe.

best ALL AROUND would be CBK

2 high speed quads, blacks that you can actually make some turns on, bumps, and a pretty nasty park this year.....

best PARKS would be big boulder or maybe 7 springs

im sorry but i fucking hate elk with a passion
i mean its pretty good but the park is dick
my backyard is almost the size of it
and dont even get started about the lifts
best quote i ever heard from the ski patrol
me: why are the lifts so slow?
ski patrol: we dont want allot of people at the top of the mountain at one time.

Yeah.  I'm the Park Manager over at Roundtop.  If you want to stop by and are around the area or are within an 1.5 hour drive, it's fun.  However if you want riding as well, check out springs, blue or camelback.
