Aah yeah, it's been a while since I was there last, but Absolute park is definitely nice, so is Are in Sweden and the freeski scene is pretty big and friendly there (or maybe every Swedisch freeski kid came to Are because of JOSS when I was there hehe).
I have to say though, in my experience most European 'big' parks are still small compared to the ones in the States and the way in which they are build is really different. Most European parks are a lot more 'compact'. With this I mean that rails and kickers are build much closer to each other. A park that is fully spread over the mountain and set up over different runs isn't as common as in the States. Another problem that I notice in a lot of European parks is the shape frequency, the last time I was in the Stash park in Avoriaz for example, most of the features had big holes in the landings and most take offs were pure ice for days. The set up of the Stash is definitely fun but it could have been much better back than.
But...! Things are improving, luckily more and more resort are starting to see the importance of a good park and companies such as Q-parks are helping resorts out to set up a good park.
