so I want to go hit up a glacier with a park, or go to chile to ski.

Where should I go? I dont want any camps,  also is there places better than zermatt that are easy to get to with good parks like zermatt?

Why is Mt Hood not one of your options?

Chile.  Or Argentina.  If you have the choice, why not go ski in a place where it's actually winter?  And where there is actually powder?

Honestly man, If you thought Zermatt was prime, Saas Fee will make you jizz in you pants. I don't this the park really get prime until the middle of July though.

saas fee is prime right now, the jumps are good and they are adding more rails. les 2 alps has the biggest summer park in europe but it gets crowded later in the summer

Argentina or Chile. Argentina is cheaper, but if South America is an option go there.

Are Zermatt/ Saas open all summer? What will the conditions be like in mid-August?? It was stille pretty legit mid-July last year, nut shit can change fast.

Also, what are the conditions like in general right meow?
