Sun Valley had parts in both Eye Trip and in gunnie season. For its first year with a park I'd say thats pretty good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDvBMdHNZV4

Sun Valley is steep, Breck is not

Sun Valley doesn't have lift lines, Breck has horrendously long lift lines

Sun Valley's season pass is roughly $2000, Breck's is roughly $500

Sun Valley is 3 hours from a major city (Boise), Breck is only 1 hour

Sun Valley doesn't have nearly enough park riders to support a Breck stature park (financially speaking), Breck has too many

Sun Valley is fucking up and locating there park in a poor location, whereas Breck's park is located on the perfect run(s)

So Thankfully Sun Valley will not be the next Breck, But unfortunately mad things still need to change for Sun Valley to support a dope park in comparison to the big guys (Breck, Keystone, Mammoth, PC, etc.)

sun valley may build awesome super-features but they don't have/probably will not have for a while, the public park or park following that breck has.

sun valley isn't really that steep, and breck is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from denver depending on traffic and weather... just saying


but i do have to agree on the other points- putting the park on dollar is so fucking annoying.

No, I'd say its still pretty slim that they will come up with an amazing park.  Not that they don't have the resources, but I just don't see them contending with Breck in the near future.  The lift lines at Breck do suck though.

Have you ever been to breck, or colorado for that matter?

Breck has steep parts
Passes are like $400
Breck is usually 2 hours from Denver
Breck's location of the park is terrible sometimes. Breckenwind

luckily, no.

Sun Valley is the "original" everything, so it's not the "new" anything.



listen to rasta stevie, they sold out a long time ago.

It was remarkable how long they held out on parks. They built some shitty pipe like 6+ years ago, then nothing happened till Dew Tour, and now they have a so-so park on Dollar. Interesting, but same tier as breck? No need to beat this dead horse...
