grayrocks is by far the saddest mountain ive ever been too. i went on a ski trip for my dads work and apparently they used to be the resort to go to back in the day before tremblants village developped. their lodge is fucking fancy and they even have a private runway and everything. but now no one goes. and they also had the worst park ive ever seen. it was closed because they hadnt even started building it. it just had a bunch of snow whales lieing around. then they got super lazy and just opened up a bunch of icy snow whales up to the public instead of making jumps and stuff. and the only rails i saw were these mangled homemade pvc rails leaning on a shed.

i see all legit contenders.  but isnt the point of skiing of going out and just having fun.  sure some of us here are to skilled to really enjoy any of these places, but to the people that go to these places, they are just people looking to go out and have a good basic time.  sure some of these places have only 10 trails and a few hundred feet vertical, a low feature terrain park, and a shallow decline, which are all sad, and i feel horrible that some of these places exist for those whoa re too skilled to fully enjoy their features.  But, if people are having fun, they probably think its the best place in the world to ski.

Not trying to put people in their place, just wanted to get my two cents in.

Damn, the worst resort I've been to is snow valley too, but your snow valley trumps mine any day. Its hard to believe resorts like that actually exist.

I think technically Baldy is smaller than this place, but Baldy is still really fun, and every time I've been to snow valley it has been bullshit.

My dad learned to ski getting pulled up a hill somewhere in Scotland behind a tractor though, which I think beats everyone.

ehh sapphire vallery, straight from the site


Our ski hill consists of two runs, one each for intermediate and beginner skiers, featuring runs up to 1600 feet in length and a vertical drop of 200 feet. Beginners receive the personal attention necessary to master the basics of downhill skiing or snowboarding, and seasoned veterans can hone their skills.

I started bawling about 1 min into the vid, then i had to shut it off. Those kids need a real skiing experience, not groomed slush bull-shit wackness.

haha i learned to ski at mt peter right down the road, i think tuxedo ridge is better if the trails are all open. It also was sterling forest when i went to mt peter.. The best part about mt peter is that the road you drive on to go there goes over the top. Like the road goes right past the top of the lift haha.. you can see it in teh upper right corner. Although i must say, i had fun skiing there when i was 5
